What it means
The document-level notes (BG-1) must include at least one note whose ram:SubjectCode (BT-21) equals AAB. This test checks for the subject code, not the wording in ram:Content (BT-22). It does not limit the number of matching notes.
Why it matters
AAB identifies your statement about an early payment discount, including when you offer none.
How to fix it
Add or correct the early payment discount note under rsm:ExchangedDocument. Set its ram:SubjectCode to AAB and put your discount terms, or your statement that no discount is offered, in ram:Content. If the wording is already present, correct that note rather than adding a duplicate. Keep one AAB note to meet BR-FR-06_BT-21_AAB, then generate the file again and recheck it.
