What it means

A Peppol invoice from a supplier in the Netherlands with an amount still to pay must say how to pay it, for example by bank transfer to your IBAN.

Typical causes

  • No bank account is linked to the invoice layout or the company settings.
  • The invoice was marked as paid in the software, but the amount due on the invoice is still above zero.

How to fix it

  1. Add your IBAN in the software and choose the payment method credit transfer (code 58 or 30).
  2. If the invoice is already paid, make sure the amount due (BT-115) is 0.
  3. Export the invoice again.
What the rule says (technical)

For suppliers in the Netherlands, an invoice with an amount due (BT-115 above zero) MUST contain payment instructions (cac:PaymentMeans).

Add the payment means: usually code 58 (SEPA credit transfer) or 30 with your IBAN.
