Wenn BT-81 "Payment means type code" einen Schlüssel für Überweisungen enthält (30, 58), dürfen BG-18 und BG-19 nicht übermittelt werden.

Why it fails

The payment means code says credit transfer (30 or 58), but the invoice also carries PAYMENT CARD INFORMATION (BG-18) and DIRECT DEBIT (BG-19). Germany allows exactly one payment method group per invoice.

How to fix it

Delete PAYMENT CARD INFORMATION (BG-18) and DIRECT DEBIT (BG-19) and keep only CREDIT TRANSFER (BG-17). If you genuinely offer more than one way to pay, that has to be agreed outside the invoice — the structured document names a single method.
