BR-16: invoice without an invoice line (BG-25)

The invoice contains not a single line. An electronic invoice must have at least one line with quantity, price and amount, even when only a flat fee or a prepayment is charged. A bare total without a line cannot be verified by the recipient, and the norm's sum rules cannot be applied. The invoice is rejected.

• A prepayment or flat-fee invoice was produced with totals only, without a line.
• The lines are in an attachment or in free text instead of InvoiceLine elements.
• The export filtered the lines out, for instance because their amount is 0.

Create at least one InvoiceLine (CII: IncludedSupplyChainTradeLineItem) with identifier, quantity, net amount, item name and price. For a flat fee a single line with quantity 1 and the total amount is the usual form.
