What it means
The document-level notes (BG-1) must include at least one note whose ram:SubjectCode (BT-21) equals PMD. This test checks for the subject code, not the penalty wording or rate in ram:Content (BT-22). It does not limit the number of matching notes.
Why it matters
PMD identifies your late payment penalty statement among the other invoice notes.
How to fix it
Add or correct the late payment penalties note under rsm:ExchangedDocument. Set its ram:SubjectCode to PMD and put the penalty terms that apply to your invoice in ram:Content. Do not substitute an example rate for your own terms. Keep one PMD note to meet BR-FR-06_BT-21_PMD, then generate the file again and recheck it.
