Validation rules

BR-61

The payment means is a credit transfer (code 30 or 58), so a payment account identifier (IBAN, BT-84) is required.

Severity

Business term
BT-84 — Payment account IBAN
Field in your JSON
invoice.payment.iban
Detected by
tier 3 — KoSIT validator (authoritative)
Reachability
Triggerable from your request JSON (generate & validate)

normbill's pre-flight raises the equivalent XRechnung finding (BR-DE-23-a) at tier 1, before the KoSIT validator sees the document.

How to fix it

Set invoice.payment.iban, or use a means_code that is not a credit transfer.

BR-61 auf Deutsch — was bedeutet der Fehler?

Als Zahlungsart ist eine Überweisung (Code 30 oder 58) angegeben, dann ist eine Kontokennung (IBAN, BT-84) Pflicht.

So beheben Sie den Fehler

Setzen Sie invoice.payment.iban — oder verwenden Sie einen means_code, der keine Überweisung ist.
