Validation rules

UBL-SR-46

The payment means text (BT-82, the name attribute on cbc:PaymentMeansCode) appears more than once in the document.

Rule: UBL-SR-46 — official EN 16931 / XRechnung rule
Severity: error
Detected by: tier 3 — KoSIT validator (authoritative)
Reachability: Only reachable when validating your own XML — normbill-generated documents cannot trigger it

The normbill invoice model has no payment means text; the serializer never sets the name attribute.

How to fix it

Set the name attribute on at most one PaymentMeansCode.

UBL-SR-46 auf Deutsch — was bedeutet der Fehler?

Der KoSIT-Validator lehnt die Rechnung ab, weil der Zahlungsweg-Text (BT-82, das name-Attribut auf cbc:PaymentMeansCode) mehrfach vorkommt.

So beheben Sie den Fehler

Setzen Sie das name-Attribut auf höchstens einem PaymentMeansCode.
