Provide an account identifier for a credit transfer

Error BR-50 EN 16931

A Payment account identifier (BT-84) shall be present if Credit transfer (BG-16) information is provided in the Invoice.

Mandatory rule: As long as it is violated, the invoice is invalid and will be rejected by validators.
What is wrong

For a payment means with ram:TypeCode 30 or 58, both ram:IBANID and ram:ProprietaryID are empty or absent. No payment account identifier is therefore provided.

What the rule means

A credit transfer payment instruction must include an identifier for the payment account. The rule accepts either an IBAN or a proprietary account identifier.

Affected fields BT-84 BG-16
Please provide the account identifier for the credit transfer

The specified payment means has no account identifier. You can provide an IBAN or a proprietary account identifier.

What to do
  1. Add ram:IBANID or ram:ProprietaryID under ram:PayeePartyCreditorFinancialAccount.
  2. Check the mapping through IBAN.
  3. Generate the invoice again and validate it again.
