BR-DE-15
Buyer reference is missing
ErrorXRechnungBT-10
Also available in:NederlandsFrançais
What it means
An XRechnung must include the buyer reference. For German public-sector buyers, this is the Leitweg-ID used to route the invoice.
Typical causes
- The buyer reference field was left blank.
- The Leitweg-ID was entered only in a note or order field.
How to fix it
- Ask the buyer for the required reference or, for a public buyer, the Leitweg-ID.
- Enter it in the buyer reference field.
- Ask your provider to map that field to BuyerReference if it is already filled in.
What the rule says (technical)
An XRechnung must contain the buyer reference (BT-10). For German public buyers this is the Leitweg-ID.
Ask the buyer for their Leitweg-ID (public sector) or order/reference number and enter it as the buyer reference.
