BR-DE-15 — Buyer reference (BT-10) is missing
- Standard: XRechnung
- Severity: fatal
- Business Terms: BT-10
Meaning
The "Buyer reference" element (BT-10) must be present — cbc:BuyerReference. In the German B2G context this field carries the Leitweg-ID (routing id).
Possible causes
- cbc:BuyerReference is absent entirely.
- cbc:BuyerReference is present but empty / whitespace-only.
How to fix it
- Set BT-10 (cbc:BuyerReference) to the reference supplied by the recipient (e.g. the Leitweg-ID).
Affected fields
