Creditor identifier is missing for a direct debit (BR-DE-30)
- Standard: XRechnung
- Severity: error
- Affected fields: BT-90
Meaning
If the invoice contains direct debit details (BG-19), it must state the creditor identifier (BT-90). With it and the mandate reference, the bank matches the direct debit to the mandate.
Possible causes
- No creditor identifier is stored in the company data of the invoicing software.
- The creditor identifier is in a note instead of its own field.
How to fix it
- In your invoicing software, store your SEPA creditor identifier, issued in Germany by the Deutsche Bundesbank.
- In the XML: set BT-90 (UBL cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID with schemeID="SEPA", CII ram:CreditorReferenceID).
