What it means

For VAT categories S, Z, E, AE, K, G, L or M, XRechnung requires a seller VAT number, a seller tax registration number or the tax representative’s VAT number. All three alternatives are missing.

Typical causes

  • The seller’s tax details were not entered.
  • Only a business registration number was recorded.

How to fix it

  1. Check the seller’s tax details and any tax representative.
  2. Enter an applicable seller VAT number, seller tax number or tax representative VAT number in its dedicated field.
  3. For a German seller, use the USt-IdNr. or Steuernummer as appropriate.
What the rule says (technical)

When VAT categories S, Z, E, AE, K, G, L or M are used, the seller VAT identifier (BT-31), the seller tax registration number (BT-32) or the tax representative VAT identifier (BT-63) must be given.

Add the seller's USt-IdNr. (VAT number) or Steuernummer.
