XML IBAN not found in the PDF (IW-PDF-XML-IBAN)
- Standard: invowerk
- Severity: warning
- Affected fields: BT-84
This is a hint from invowerk, not a validation rule.
Meaning
The IBAN (BT-84) from the XML file is missing from the PDF's text; a different IBAN in the PDF can misdirect payments. Where they differ, the XML data prevails (UStAE 14.4 para. 3). The hint does not change the result.
Possible causes
- The bank details were changed only in the PDF template or only in the master data.
- The PDF names a different account from the XML file.
- The PDF shows the IBAN only as an image.
How to fix it
- Compare the IBAN in the PDF with the bank details in your invoicing software.
- Keep the bank details in one place that both the PDF and the XML file are generated from (BT-84).
