CII-SR-467

Validation message

All Payment means type codes (BT-81) shall have the same value across all SpecifiedTradeSettlementPaymentMeans.

Explanation

When several payment routes are given (e.g. several bank accounts), they must all carry the same payment means code (BT-81), such as all 'SEPA credit transfer'. CII repeats the payment means per route, but the European standard EN 16931 allows only one payment means per invoice.

How to fix

Choose one payment means for the whole invoice. Several bank accounts are fine as long as they share it; describe alternative ways to pay (e.g. direct debit alongside transfer) in the payment terms.
