Validation rules

BR-DE-24-a

The payment means is a card payment (code 48, 54 or 55), so card information (BG-18) is required.

Reachability

Tier 1 rejects card payment means codes up front (NB-PAYMENT-MEANS-UNSUPPORTED) because the model has no card information (BG-18) to satisfy this rule.

How to fix it

normbill cannot express card information — use a credit-transfer means_code (58 with an IBAN, or 30), or SEPA direct debit (59 with mandate_id, creditor_id, and debited_iban).

BR-DE-24-a auf Deutsch — was bedeutet der Fehler?

Als Zahlungsart ist eine Kartenzahlung (Code 48, 54 oder 55) angegeben, dann sind Karteninformationen (BG-18) Pflicht. normbill kann Karteninformationen nicht abbilden und weist diese Codes bereits vorab zurück.

So beheben Sie den Fehler

Verwenden Sie eine Überweisung (means_code 58 mit IBAN oder 30) oder SEPA-Lastschrift (59 mit mandate_id, creditor_id und debited_iban).
