fatalXRechnung 3.0.2 (Germany)profileCIIUBLBG-16

Eine Rechnung (INVOICE) muss Angaben zu "PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS" (BG-16) enthalten.

Why it fails

XRechnung requires a payment instruction group (BG-16); the invoice has none. The German public sector needs to know how to pay you.

How to fix it

Add BG-16 with at least the payment means type code BT-81 (UBL cac:PaymentMeans). For a bank transfer use 58 (SEPA credit transfer) and add the IBAN in BT-84.

Nothing is stored, and the whole invoice is checked, not just this rule. A PDF only works if it is Factur-X / ZUGFeRD — a PDF with the invoice XML inside it.
