What is BR-DEX-14?

BR-DEX-14 is a fatal validation rule defined in the XRechnung (Germany) specification (DEU national rules). It validates the PriceAmount element under Price in the UBL invoice XML.

When this rule fires, the invoice is non-compliant and will be rejected by Peppol access points and national validation services. The sending system receives a rejection response and the invoice does not reach the buyer.

Target path: //ext:UBLExtensions//cac:Price/cbc:PriceAmount

Why This Error Matters

Invoice will be rejected. XRechnung extension rules for German invoices must be followed for proper processing by German public sector recipients.

BR-DEX-14 is a hard failure. Invoices that trigger this rule are rejected at the access point and never reach the recipient. In Peppol networks, this means your sending system receives an MLR (Message Level Response) with a rejection status. The invoice must be corrected and re-sent, adding delay to your payment cycle.

Invoice Navigator can automatically correct this error in your pipeline. The fix is applied with full audit evidence, so your compliance trail remains intact.
