- Severity
- Error The invoice is invalid and may be rejected by the recipient.
- Applies to
- XRechnung (CII), XRechnung (UBL)
- Affected fields
- BT-125
What does this mean?
In an XRechnung extension invoice (identifier in BT-24), embedded attachments (Attached document, BT-125) may only use the MIME codes application/pdf, image/png, image/jpeg, text/csv, application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet, application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet or additionally application/xml. An attachment uses a different code.
Typical causes
The attachment has a file format that is not allowed, e.g. a Word document, a ZIP file or a GIF image.
The MIME code is misspelled or does not match the content, e.g. image/jpg instead of image/jpeg or text/xml instead of application/xml.
The MIME code is missing.
How to fix the error
Convert the attachment into an allowed format (e.g. PDF) and state the matching MIME code.
CII: ram:AdditionalReferencedDocument/ram:AttachmentBinaryObject/@mimeCode, UBL: cac:AdditionalDocumentReference/cac:Attachment/cbc:EmbeddedDocumentBinaryObject/@mimeCode.
Generate and validate the invoice again.
In E-Rechnungsfreund
In the invoice form ("Experte" view), section "Zusätzliche Dokumente (BG-24)" (additional documents), select the code matching the file format in the field "MIME-Code (BT-125-1)" of the affected document; convert files in other formats beforehand.
