BR-FXEXT-BR-22: Each invoice line needs a quantity

What it means

Each normal invoice line (BG-25) must state the quantity of goods or services invoiced (BT-129). A line is normal when its subtype (BT-X-8) is DETAIL or not given. The check looks for the billed quantity in the delivery part of the line.

Why it matters

Without a quantity the recipient cannot see what was delivered or check the line amount against the unit price. The invoice is rejected.

How to fix it

Open the line in your invoicing software and fill in the quantity. For a service, enter 1 or the number of hours or days. If the line is only a heading, a note or a subtotal label, it should not be a normal line, so move the text to a note or remove the line.

The rule as published

Each invoice line item "INVOICE LINE" (BG-25) must contain the quantity of goods or services invoiced in the relevant line item as a line item "Invoiced quantity" (BT-129) if the "Subtype of invoice line item" (BT-X-8) has the value "Normal line item (standard case)" (DETAIL) or is not specified.
