BR-DE-30

If the invoice carries direct-debit data (BG-19), it must include the bank-assigned creditor identifier (BT-90) — the SEPA identifier under which you are allowed to collect.

Severity: Error
Applies to: CII, UBL
Rule set: v2026-01-31

Official rule text

Wenn "DIRECT DEBIT" BG-19 vorhanden ist, dann muss "Bank assigned creditor identifier" BT-90 übermittelt werden.

Why it happens

The creditor ID is issued once per company and lives in accounting, not in the invoice data set — the mapping simply forgets it.

How to fix it

Transmit your creditor identifier (format DE98ZZZ09999999999) in BT-90: cac:PayeeParty/cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID with schemeID="SEPA" in UBL, ram:CreditorReferenceID in CII.
