BR-DE-22 Attachments share a file name
Every attachment in an XRechnung needs a file name of its own. If two embedded files have the same name, the invoice is rejected.
The rule's official text
Das "filename"-Attribut aller "EmbeddedDocumentBinaryObject"-Elemente muss eindeutig sein
Every attachment needs its own file name; two embedded documents may not share one.
An error: the validator rejects the invoice, and recipients may refuse it.
What usually causes it
- Several attachments have the same name, such as
timesheet.pdftwice. - The software gives every attachment the same fixed name.
How to fix it
- Name the attachments uniquely, such as
timesheet-october.pdfandtimesheet-november.pdf. - Don't rely on upper and lower case alone; clearly different names are safer.
Where it sits in the XML
- UBL
