Belgian enterprise number fails its check

WarningInvoiceVerifyBT-34BT-49

Also available in:NederlandsFrançais

What it means

The Belgian enterprise number labelled with scheme 0208 fails its check-digit calculation. This warning concerns the enterprise identifier, not a general VAT format check.

Typical causes

  • A digit was mistyped or a leading zero was lost.
  • Another identifier was labelled as a Belgian enterprise number.

How to fix it

  1. Check the party’s 10-digit number in the Belgian CBE/KBO/BCE register.
  2. Enter the full enterprise number, including any leading zero.
  3. Use scheme 0208 only for the Belgian enterprise number and validate again.
What the rule says (technical)

The Belgian enterprise number (scheme 0208) does not pass its mod-97 check.

Check the 10-digit KBO/BCE number of the party.
