What it means

An XRechnung must include payment instructions, with at least a code identifying the payment method.

Typical causes

  • No payment method was selected.
  • The export omitted the payment instructions.

How to fix it

  1. Select the agreed payment method in the invoice.
  2. Enter the relevant details, such as the IBAN for a bank transfer.
  3. If already entered, ask your provider to include the payment instructions in the XRechnung export.
What the rule says (technical)

An XRechnung must contain payment instructions (BG-16), i.e. at least a payment means code.

Add a payment means (e.g. 58 SEPA credit transfer with the IBAN, or 59 SEPA direct debit with the mandate reference).
