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 card payments; generated XML never contains cac:CardAccount.

How to fix it

Keep a single CardAccount in the document.

UBL-SR-54 auf Deutsch — was bedeutet der Fehler?

Der KoSIT-Validator lehnt die Rechnung ab, weil mehrere Zahlungskarten-Informationen (BG-18) vorhanden sind — cac:PaymentMeans/cac:CardAccount ist höchstens einmal erlaubt.

So beheben Sie den Fehler

Behalten Sie genau ein CardAccount im Dokument.
