FW-QTY-0 warning FakturWire check

FW-QTY-0 — a line has quantity 0

What it means

A line with quantity 0 contributes nothing to the invoice total. It is usually a leftover, a placeholder, or a bug in how the line list was built. FakturWire flags it as a warning — it is valid, but almost never intended.

What triggers it

A line’s quantity is "0".

How to fix it

Remove the empty line, or set the real quantity:

{ "lines": [ { "id": "1", "name": "Consulting", "quantity": "10", "unitPrice": "120.00" } ] }

If you deliberately show a zero-quantity line (e.g. a free item), you can ignore this warning — it never blocks conversion.

Check your invoice now. Paste it into the free validator — it flags FW-QTY-0 and every other EN 16931, Peppol and XRechnung rule, each with the fix.

Or run the same check via API:

curl -X POST https://fakturwire.com/v1/validate \
  -H "authorization: Bearer $FW_KEY" \
  -d '{"invoice": { ... }, "profile": "en16931"}'
