BR-FR-BD-02_BT-30: Exactly one GROUP reference must match the seller

What it means

For these frameworks, the test counts cac:BillingReference elements on invoice or credit note lines (BG-25). A reference qualifies when its cac:InvoiceDocumentReference/cbc:ID equals the current document number, its cac:InvoiceDocumentReference/cbc:DocumentStatusCode is GROUP, it has no cac:BillingReferenceLine/cbc:ID, and the line's cac:Item/cac:ManufacturerParty/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:CompanyID equals the header seller's BT-30. Exactly one reference must qualify. It counts references, not distinct lines. CII uses BR-FR-BD-02_BT-31.

Why it matters

The check ties the seller's GROUP reference to the same registered seller as the document header.

How to fix it

Check that BT-23 describes your invoicing arrangement. If S9, B9 or M9 is correct, inspect the intended seller GROUP line. Its billing reference must identify the current document, carry status GROUP and omit cac:BillingReferenceLine/cbc:ID completely, even an empty element. Set the line seller's company registration number (EXT-FR-FE-167) to the header seller's BT-30. Correct missing or unintended duplicate qualifying references so exactly one matches, then recheck.

The rule as published

invoiceID : … BR-FR-BD-02/BT-30 : Lorsque le cadre de facturation (BT-23) est S9, B9 ou M9, la facture doit contenir exactement deux ligne (BG-25) avec le sous-type de ligne (ram:LineStatusReasonCode) égal à "GROUP" et sans identifiant de ligne parent (ram:ParentLineID), pour lesquelles l'une a pour ID legal Vendeur à la ligne (EXT-FR-FE-167) l'ID légal du VENDEUR (BT-30). Veuillez vérifier qu'il y a une ligne GROUP avec ID Vendeur de ligne = ID VENDEUR (BT-30).
