BR-25
Invoice Line Item Name Missing (BT-153)
What This Error Means
Every invoice line must contain the item name (BT-153): cac:Item/cbc:Name in UBL, ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct/ram:Name in CII. It describes the goods or services invoiced; without it the receiving system cannot display the line or match it to an order. The rule is fatal and also fires for an empty or whitespace-only name.
How to Fix It
Add cac:Item/cbc:Name to each line with a clear name of the product or service. Longer explanations can go into cac:Item/cbc:Description (BT-154).
