BR-25

Each Invoice line (BG-25) shall contain the Item name (BT-153).

error: the document is invalid Peppol documentation ↗

Why it fails

  • A line's item has no cac:Item/cbc:Name (ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct/ram:Name in CII); a description alone isn't enough.

How to fix it

Give every item a short name. A longer text can go in cbc:Description as well.

What the rule checks

As the rule set's publisher wrote it. The rule runs on every element the context matches, and fails where the test is false; the validator reports the line of that element.
