warningPeppol BIS Billing 3.0profileUBLBG-3BT-3

If "Invoice type code" (BT-3) contains the code 384 (Corrected invoice), "PRECEDING INVOICE REFERENCE" (BG-3) should be provided at least once.

Why it fails

The invoice type code is 384 (corrected invoice) but no preceding invoice reference (BG-3) is given, so nobody can tell what is being corrected.

How to fix it

Add BG-3 with the original invoice number in BT-25 (and ideally its date in BT-26).
