## Official statement

> [BR-DE-19] "Payment account identifier" (BT-84) soll eine korrekte IBAN enthalten, wenn in "Payment means type code" (BT-81) mit dem Code 58 SEPA als Zahlungsmittel gefordert wird.

Source: https://github.com/itplr-kosit/xrechnung-schematron/blob/v2.6.0/src/validation/schematron/ubl/XRechnung-UBL-validation.sch

XRechnung Schematron 2.6.0 (itplr-kosit/xrechnung-schematron tag v2.6.0), UBL invoice and credit note

Severity note: warning, from the schematron flag attribute on tag v2.6.0.

## Plain-language reading

When the payment means type code (BT-81) is 58, the payment account identifier (BT-84) should be a correct IBAN. The published flag is warning. The test calls xr:checkIBAN; this entry does not restate that function.

## What to change

For code 58, put an IBAN that passes the schematron IBAN check in cac:PayeeFinancialAccount/cbc:ID.

## Illustration

Illustration of the condition in the official statement. Not an example published by the source.

**Fails the stated condition.** BT-81 is 58 and the payment account identifier fails the schematron IBAN check.

**Passes the stated condition.** BT-81 is 58 and the payment account identifier passes the schematron IBAN check.

## Published context and test

```
/ubl:Invoice/cac:PaymentMeans[normalize-space(cbc:PaymentMeansCode) = ('30','58')] | /cn:CreditNote/cac:PaymentMeans[normalize-space(cbc:PaymentMeansCode) = ('30','58')]
```

```
not(normalize-space(cbc:PaymentMeansCode) = '58') or xr:checkIBAN(string(cac:PayeeFinancialAccount/cbc:ID))
```
