NL-R-008

Payment means not allowed for a Dutch domestic invoice

Needs a business decision Field BT-81 CIUS UBL / CII

What it means

When both seller and buyer are in the Netherlands, only a restricted set of payment means codes is accepted. The restriction reflects what Dutch domestic payment infrastructure actually supports.

Can it be fixed automatically?

This needs a decision only the issuer can make. Guessing it would produce an invoice that validates and is wrong, which is worse than one that fails.

How to fix it

Choose an allowed payment means code that matches how you expect to be paid. This is a business decision about the payment method, not a formatting fix.
