BR-17

Validation message

The Payee name (BT-59) shall be provided in the Invoice, if the Payee (BG-10) is different from the Seller (BG-4)

Explanation

A separate payee is only stated when someone other than the seller receives the money, such as a factoring company. Its name must then be on the invoice. This invoice states a payee without a name, or one with the same name or identifier as the seller.

How to fix

Check with the seller who is to be paid and ask for a corrected invoice: with the payee's name if it is someone else, or with no payee at all if the seller receives the money itself.
