BR-DE-25-b
Wenn BT-81 "Payment means type code" einen Schlüssel für Lastschriften enthält (59), dürfen BG-17 und BG-18 nicht übermittelt werden.
What does this rule mean?
The payment means code (BT-81) says direct debit (59), but BG-17 (credit transfer) and BG-18 (card) are also present.
Only the detail group belonging to the stated payment means may be sent — several groups at once would contradict each other.
- BG-17
- Credit transfer (group)
- BG-18
- Payment card information (group)
- BT-81
- Payment means type code (UNTDID 4461)

Where the rule applies
Syntax: CII · UBL
The same rule, expressed twice: UBL and CII name the same fields with different paths. Running a CII file against the UBL rules is why you get errors that mean nothing.
UBL
/ubl:Invoice/cac:PaymentMeans[normalize-space(cbc:PaymentMeansCode) = '59'] | /cn:CreditNote/cac:PaymentMeans[normalize-space(cbc:PaymentMeansCode) = '59']
CII
/rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementPaymentMeans[normalize-space(ram:TypeCode) = '59']
