The Buyer Information group defines which customer or order attributes the buyer-related business terms are populated from.
- Customer Number Attribute (
buyer/customer_number_attribute, default:entity_id, BT-46): Customer attribute for the buyer identifier. UseCustomer IDfor the Magento entity ID or a custom attribute with your customer numbers. - Buyer Reference Attribute (
buyer/buyer_reference_attribute, BT-10): Attribute for the buyer reference (Leitweg-ID, cost center). Customer attributes work for registered customers, order attributes for all orders including guest orders. XRechnung (BR-DE-15): mandatory field. - Buyer Legal Registration Number Attribute (
buyer/buyer_registration_attribute, BT-47): Customer attribute with the buyer's legal registration number. Recommended for B2B. - Buyer Registration Scheme (ICD) (
buyer/buyer_registration_scheme, BT-47-1): ISO 6523 ICD code for the legal registration number. Common:0204(Leitweg-ID),0060(DUNS),0088(GLN). Visible as soon as a legal registration number attribute (≠Customer ID) is selected. - Project Reference Attribute (
buyer/project_reference_attribute, BT-11): Order attribute for the project reference. Helps buyers with cost allocation per project. - Purchase Order Reference Attribute (
buyer/purchase_order_reference_attribute, BT-13): Order attribute for the buyer's purchase order reference (order number/PO number). Used by buyers to assign invoices to their orders. - Seller Order Reference Attribute (
buyer/seller_order_reference_attribute, default:increment_id, BT-14): Order attribute for your own order reference (order/confirmation number). Links invoices to your orders. - Include Invoice Comments (
buyer/include_invoice_comments, BT-22): Transfers invoice comments as an invoice note. Only comments visible to customers are transferred.
Buyer reference with prefix (BT-10)
The Buyer Reference Attribute supports prefixed values to define the source of the value:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
customer:leitweg_id |
Reads the leitweg_id attribute from the customer. |
order:increment_id |
Reads the order number (Order Increment ID). |
If the resolved value is empty, the order number (Order Increment ID) is automatically used as the buyer reference. This ensures that the XRechnung rule BR-DE-15 (buyer reference is mandatory) is also fulfilled for guest orders.
For pure B2B scenarios without the public sector, it is usually sufficient to use the order number as the buyer reference. For the public sector, the recipient's Leitweg-ID must end up here – see XRechnung.
