A Payment instruction (BG-16) must specify the Payment means type code (BT-81). The message starts with "A", not "Each". It says "shall specify", not "shall have". It ends with a period. It does not say "Document level". The context is the payment means. The published test checks that cbc:PaymentMeansCode exists. It does not require a particular code.
Put a payment means type code (BT-81) on the payment instruction.
Illustration of the condition in the official statement. Not an example published by the source.
