Germany

A card payment is announced alongside another payment means

When `Payment means type code` (BT-81) announces a card (48, 54 or 55), the `CREDIT TRANSFER` (BG-17) and `DIRECT DEBIT` (BG-19) groups must not be provided.

Only the issuer holds this value: Factlint reports it and never fabricates it. Test your invoice to find out whether it is affected.

Test your file with this error in mind

Upload the invoice involved: the report will say whether this code appears, where it appears in the document, and whether Factlint can only report it or also fix it.

To automate this check in an ERP flow, call the validation API and link every returned code to its public page.

Why this error happens

The same exclusivity requirement as BR-DE-23-b, seen from the card side. It often fires because the seller's IBAN is written systematically, whatever means was chosen.

How to fix it

Emit only the block for the payment means actually chosen. Factlint does not remove a payment block (rule 1).
