A credit transfer is announced without credit transfer details

When `Payment means type code` (BT-81) announces a credit transfer (30 or 58), the `CREDIT TRANSFER` group (BG-17) must be provided.

Only the issuer holds this value: Factlint reports it and never fabricates it. Test your invoice to find out whether it is affected.

Test your file with this error in mind

Upload the invoice involved: the report will say whether this code appears, where it appears in the document, and whether Factlint can only report it or also fix it.

To automate this check in an ERP flow, call the validation API and link every returned code to its public page.

Why this error happens

XRechnung refuses a payment means that is announced but not filled in: saying “transfer” without giving the account to credit tells the payer nothing useful. Three twin rules cover the three means — transfer, card, direct debit — and each has a `-b` half forbidding the other two groups.

How to fix it

Fill in the account to credit. Factlint writes no payment details (rule 1).
