At the moment, not all mandatory fields that are absolutely necessary to generate the XInvoice are correctly marked in projo. In addition, the following statement with the current legislation should be available in the overview of the project in the XBilling section in order to avoid queries.

Explanatory text:
Explanation: Here, projo follows the current legislation for the preparation of e-invoices. All mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk. Before that, it is not possible to generate the XInvoice within the invoice! In addition, all fields must be filled in, which the Sales Tax Act requires in accordance with 14 paragraph 4 and must contain every invoice.
All other fields are optional as far as legislation is concerned. These must be obtained from the client. If a field is missing, the XRechnung may be rejected.

Hello, as far as I understand, it is only necessary to provide a route ID (BT-10) in exchange with authorities (B2G); this information can be omitted for B2B invoices.
