  • Editorial review pending

An XRechnung must contain the buyer's electronic address (BT-49), the address through which you receive e-invoices. For public bodies this is usually the Leitweg-ID; for businesses it is often the email address or a Peppol identifier, each with its scheme code. This detail 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 your electronic address.
  2. Tell them which address to enter, for example your email address for receiving invoices (scheme EM) or your Leitweg-ID (scheme 0204).
