Validation message

Mandate reference MUST be provided for direct debit.

Explanation

If payment is by direct debit (payment means 49 direct debit or 59 SEPA direct debit), the invoice must state the mandate reference. It identifies the direct debit mandate the buyer granted the seller and is needed to collect the payment.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice that states the mandate reference. It is on the direct debit mandate the buyer signed.
