The invoice contains direct debit details (BG-19). In that case the IBAN of the account from which the amount will be collected (BT-91) must be given, usually your account as stated in the direct debit mandate. It is missing, so the invoice is not valid.

As of

Who can correct it?

The sender can correct the invoice.

How to fix it

  1. Ask the sender for a corrected invoice with the IBAN from your direct debit mandate.
  2. If you issued the invoice yourself: enter the customer's IBAN from the mandate in the direct debit details, or choose bank transfer if there is no mandate.

Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – IBAN for the direct debit missing

Hello,

Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. When checking it we noticed that the IBAN of the account to be debited is missing from the direct debit details (rule BR-DE-31). An XRechnung is not valid like this. Could you please send the invoice again with the IBAN from our direct debit mandate?

Kind regards

Example

The direct debit details contain the mandate reference but omit the account to debit. The sender supplies the confirmed account identifier from the mandate.
