DE-R-001

fatalPeppol BIS Billing 3.0profileUBLBG-16

An invoice shall contain information on "PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS" (BG-16).

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.
