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 charge (BG-28) must have an Invoice line charge amount (BT-141). The message says "shall have" and starts with "Each". It ends with a period. It names BG-28. The context is a charge on an invoice line or a credit note line. That path starts with //. The charge indicator comparison is = true() with spaces around =. The published test checks that cbc:Amount exists. It does not calculate the amount.

What to change

Put an Invoice line charge amount (BT-141) on each invoice line charge or credit note line charge.
