What this rule requires
Rule BR-16 requires the document to contain at least one line item. The test is satisfied if at least one cac:InvoiceLine or at least one cac:CreditNoteLine element exists; it does not require both. A document without either element fails with this fatal error.
How to fix
Add at least one cac:InvoiceLine element or at least one cac:CreditNoteLine element to the document. If the document is an invoice, an invoice line; if a credit note, a credit note line. Ensure one of these line elements is present.
