Direct debit without direct debit details (BR-DE-25-a)
- Standard: XRechnung
- Severity: error
- Affected fields: BT-81, BT-89, BT-90, BT-91
Meaning
For SEPA direct debit (code 59 in BT-81), the invoice must contain the direct debit details (BG-19). They include the mandate reference (BT-89), the creditor identifier (BT-90) and the debited account (BT-91).
Possible causes
- Direct debit is chosen as payment means, but no mandate is stored for the customer.
- Code 59 was chosen although the customer pays by transfer.
How to fix it
- In your invoicing software, store the customer's SEPA mandate or choose the payment means actually used.
- In the XML: add BG-19 (UBL cac:PaymentMeans/cac:PaymentMandate, CII ram:DirectDebitMandateID, ram:CreditorReferenceID and ram:PayerPartyDebtorFinancialAccount).
