BR-25

Invoice Line Item Name Missing (BT-153)

What This Error Means

Every invoice line must include an item name (BT-153, cbc:Name under cac:Item). This is the description of the goods or services invoiced. Without it, the receiving system cannot generate human-readable invoice documents or match positions to purchase orders.

How to Fix It

Add cac:Item/cbc:Name to each InvoiceLine with a clear description of the product or service. Maximum length is 255 characters.

XML Example
<cac:Item>
  <cbc:Name>Beratungsdienstleistungen Februar 2024</cbc:Name>
  <cac:ClassifiedTaxCategory>
    <cbc:ID>S</cbc:ID>
    <cbc:Percent>19</cbc:Percent>
    <cac:TaxScheme><cbc:ID>VAT</cbc:ID></cac:TaxScheme>
  </cac:ClassifiedTaxCategory>
</cac:Item>
