BR-DE-30
A direct debit group is missing the creditor identifier.
Why it happens
The SEPA creditor identifier (Gläubiger-ID) was not carried into the invoice.
How to fix it
Set BT-90 — cac:PaymentMeans/cac:PaymentMandate/cac:PayerFinancialAccount is the debited account; the creditor identifier belongs in cbc:PaymentMandate/cbc:ID's issuing party field per the UBL binding.
The official rule
XRechnung, official German wordingWenn "DIRECT DEBIT" BG-19 vorhanden ist, dann muss "Bank assigned creditor identifier" BT-90 übermittelt werden.
Our English rendering: If DIRECT DEBIT (BG-19) is present, then "Bank assigned creditor identifier" (BT-90) must be provided.
