EN 16931 FATAL

Official rule text

An Invoice shall have at least one Invoice line (BG-25)

What this error means

An invoice without lines is not an invoice: the standard requires at least one invoice line (BG-25).

How to fix it

Add at least one cac:InvoiceLine with quantity, price and item name.
If you meant to void a document, issue a credit note (type 381) instead of an empty invoice.
