What it means
The document-level notes (BG-1) must include at least one note whose ram:SubjectCode (BT-21) equals PMT. This test checks for the subject code, not the wording or fee amount in ram:Content (BT-22). It does not limit the number of matching notes.
Why it matters
PMT identifies your statement about the fixed recovery fee for late payment.
How to fix it
Add or correct the recovery fee note under rsm:ExchangedDocument. Set its ram:SubjectCode to PMT and put the recovery fee wording applicable to your invoice in ram:Content. If that wording is already present, correct its subject code rather than adding a duplicate. Keep one PMT note to meet BR-FR-06_BT-21_PMT, then generate the file again and recheck it.
Once the file is corrected, check it again for free: Check an e-invoice
