BT-10Buyer reference
Mandatory on every XRechnung, including B2B. For invoices to a German public authority this is the Leitweg-ID, which routes the invoice to the right office; in B2B it carries whatever reference the buyer asked for, an order number for instance. Only checked for being non-empty — the rule set never looks at the Leitweg-ID’s structure or check digit.
