Item name (BT-153) is required.

ExampleEN 16931 (UBL)

An invoice built like a valid one, except for this:

  <cac:ClassifiedTaxCategory>
    <cbc:ID>S</cbc:ID>
    <cbc:Percent>19.00</cbc:Percent>
    <cac:TaxScheme>
      <cbc:ID>VAT</cbc:ID>
    </cac:TaxScheme>
  </cac:ClassifiedTaxCategory>
</cac:Item>

The validator says: Item name (BT-153) is required and the document does not contain it.

Add Item name to the invoice.
