BR-DE-26BG-3
input
A corrected invoice does not reference the preceding invoice
When `Invoice type code` (BT-3) is 384 (corrected invoice), the `PRECEDING INVOICE REFERENCE` group (BG-3) should be present at least once.
Only the issuer holds this value: Factlint reports it and never fabricates it. Test your invoice to find out whether it is affected.
Why this error happens
A corrected invoice that does not say what it corrects forces the recipient to find the original by hand, or to refuse it. That link is also what makes the two entries reconcilable in the accounts.
How to fix it
Reference the original invoice — its number, and its date when you have it. Factlint does not guess it: nothing in the document points to the invoice being corrected.
