Rule
BR-DE-CVD-02official EN 16931 / XRechnung rule
Severity
error
Detected by
tier 3 — KoSIT validator (authoritative)
Reachability
Only reachable when validating your own XML — normbill-generated documents cannot trigger it

Belongs to the 'XRechnung CVD' sibling CIUS (Clean Vehicle Directive) — a separate CustomizationID normbill never generates; reachable only for CVD XML submitted to /v1/invoices/validate.

How to fix it

Add the tender/lot reference, or use the regular XRechnung CIUS.

BR-DE-CVD-02 auf Deutsch — was bedeutet der Fehler?

Eine CVD-Rechnung muss die Ausschreibungs- oder Losreferenz (BT-17) enthalten. Diese Regel gehört zur Schwester-CIUS „XRechnung CVD“ (Clean Vehicle Directive), die normbill nicht erzeugt.

So beheben Sie den Fehler

Ergänzen Sie die Referenz — oder nutzen Sie die reguläre XRechnung-CIUS.
