Buyer reference does not look like a routing ID

What this is about

The buyer reference is filled but does not match the structure of a Leitweg-ID. For invoices to authorities that is almost always an error; for business customers other content is allowed.

What to do

If the recipient is a public authority, check the routing ID.
