BR-64: Item standard identifier scheme (BT-157-1) is missing

What does this mean?

If an item standard identifier (BT-157) is given, e.g. a GTIN, it must have a scheme identifier (BT-157-1). The attribute schemeID is missing for at least one line; CII also rejects an empty attribute, UBL only a missing one.

Typical causes

The GTIN or EAN was given without a scheme.
An internal article number was given as standard identifier instead of as the seller's item identifier (BT-155).

How to fix the error

State the scheme code from the ISO 6523 ICD list for the item identifier, e.g. 0160 for a GTIN.
State internal article numbers as the seller's (BT-155) or buyer's (BT-156) item identifier, not as BT-157.
CII: ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct/ram:GlobalID/@schemeID, UBL: cac:Item/cac:StandardItemIdentification/cbc:ID/@schemeID.
Generate and validate the invoice again.

In E-Rechnungsfreund

In the invoice form ("Experte" view), section "Rechnungspositionen (BG-25)" (invoice lines), fill in the field "Global-ID-Schema (BT-157-1)" (global ID scheme) of the line, e.g. 0160 for a GTIN. If the identifier is an internal article number, enter it in "Artikelnr. Verkäufer (BT-155)" (seller's item number) instead and clear "Global-ID (BT-157)".

Example

Wrong

<ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct>
  <ram:GlobalID>4012345000016</ram:GlobalID>
  <ram:Name>Coffee beans 1 kg</ram:Name>
</ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct>

Correct

<ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct>
  <ram:GlobalID schemeID="0160">4012345000016</ram:GlobalID>
  <ram:Name>Coffee beans 1 kg</ram:Name>
</ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct>
