Payment instructions (BG-16) required

What it means

XRechnung requires the document to include payment instructions: at least one PAYMENT MEANS group (BG-16) describing how the invoice is to be paid.

How to fix it

Add a cac:PaymentMeans (UBL) / ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementPaymentMeans (CII) with the payment means type code (BT-81) and the relevant account details (e.g. IBAN in BT-84 for a credit transfer).

# CLI
npx @eleata/validate-einvoice validate invoice.xml --format xrechnung-ubl
