BR-FR-MV-03_EXT-FR-FE-164: Top-level GROUP lines need the seller's name

What it means

For these billing frameworks in BT-23, the seller name on each GROUP line without a parent must not be blank. In UBL, the GROUP billing reference identifies the current document, and the name is in cac:Item/cac:ManufacturerParty/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:RegistrationName. The CII field is ram:Name.

Why it matters

The name identifies the seller associated with the sub-invoice represented by the GROUP line.

How to fix it

Find the affected top-level GROUP line and enter its seller's name. In UBL, correct cac:Item/cac:ManufacturerParty/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:RegistrationName. In CII, correct the corresponding seller ram:Name. A seller name in the document header alone does not fill this line-level field. Export and recheck the file.
