XRechnung (KoSIT)Error

Peppol national rule for German parties (same requirement as XRechnung BR-DE-25-b): Payment means code 59 (SEPA direct debit) is used, but the invoice also contains credit transfer (BG-17) or card (BG-18) information. The sender must remove cac:PayeeFinancialAccount / cac:CardAccount so only BG-19 remains.

Field: payment (BG-17/BG-18)
Rule set: XRechnung (KoSIT)
Rule-set version: XRechnung 3.0.2 Schematron 2.6.0 · in force since 2026-10-17 · Rule-set changelog
