Source: https://docs.peppol.eu/poacc/billing/3.0/rules/ubl-tc434/BR-26/

Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, May 2026 release, EN 16931 model bound to UBL

Severity note: fatal, from the Flag column of the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 UBL rules index retrieved 2026-10-18.

## Plain-language reading

Each invoice line (BG-25) must contain the item net price (BT-146). The message says "shall contain the", not "shall have". The published test checks that a price amount exists. It does not compare that amount with zero. The context is the invoice line or the credit note line.

## What to change

Add a price amount on each invoice line or credit note line. That element is the item net price (BT-146).

## Illustration

Illustration of the condition in the official statement. Not an example published by the source.

**Fails the stated condition.** The line has no price amount.

**Passes the stated condition.** The line has a price amount element.
