Reader shows BR-49 error when no cac:PaymentMeans is present, but cac:PaymentTerms is

[yulkusal]

Hello,

I received an invoice that shows BusinessRuleId BR-49, even if no cac:PaymentMeans is in the invoice.
I played a little with several eInvoices and it looks like the presence of cac:PaymentTerms when cac:PaymentMeans is missing triggers the issue.

Hello @yulkusal,

Could you provide an XML example? I don't fully understand what the issue is.

The issue seems to be /src/Traits/InvoiceValidationTrait.php, line 170
if ($inv->getPayment() !== null && $inv->getPayment()->getMeansCode() === null)
My solution was to modify to
if ($inv->getPayment() !== null) { if ($inv->getPayment()->getTerms() !== null) return; if (($inv->getPayment()->getMeansCode() === null) && ($inv->getPayment()->getTerms() === null)) { return "A Payment instruction (BG-16) shall specify the Payment means type code (BT-81)"; } }

Got it, thanks! I'm preparing a fix.
