Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL
Original rule text
[DE-R-024-1]-If both supplier and customer are located in Germany, and if "Payment means type code" (BT-81) contains a code for payment card (48, 54, 55), "PAYMENT CARD INFORMATION" (BG-18) shall be provided.
cac:CardAccountDE-R-024-1 is a fatal rule in the country layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected. It refers to BT-81, BG-18.
What this rule requires
Rule DE-R-024-1 applies to cac:PaymentMeans elements where cbc:PaymentMeansCode equals '48', '54', or '55' and both the supplier and customer country codes are 'DE'. For each such payment means, the rule requires a child cac:CardAccount element, which represents PAYMENT CARD INFORMATION (BG-18). If the cac:CardAccount element is missing, validation fails.
How to fix
In the cac:PaymentMeans element(s) that have cbc:PaymentMeansCode set to '48', '54', or '55', add a cac:CardAccount element. Populate it with the payment card details required for BG-18 according to the Peppol BIS Billing specification. The rule itself only checks for the presence of cac:CardAccount, so at minimum ensure that element exists.
