BR-50 — E-Invoice Validation Rule & Fix

Fixture ID: creditTransferGroupNoIban · XPath: /ubl:Invoice/cac:PaymentMeans/cac:PayeeFinancialAccount/cbc:ID

1. Why This Rule Triggers (Diagnostic Message)

The invoice supplies credit transfer information (BG-17) — a payment account name (BT-85) — but no payment account identifier (BT-84). BT-84 is the only part of the group that actually receives money; the name and the BIC describe the account, they do not identify it. A payer's system reads BT-84 and nothing else.

2. How to Fix BR-50

Set payment.iban to the receiving account. If you did not mean to give credit transfer details, remove payment.accountName and payment.bic as well — a half-filled BG-17 is worse than none, because it looks answered.
