What it means
A line (BG-25) may give a buyer accounting reference (BT-133) in the ID of ReceivableSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount. The rule checks that this element has no Name inside it.
Why it matters
This is a warning, so the invoice is still accepted. The recipient reads the ID and not a name for the account, so the name is dropped. If the name carries something the buyer needs, it will not reach them.
How to fix it
Inside ReceivableSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount on each line, delete Name. Put whatever the buyer needs to book the line into the ID, which is the buyer accounting reference. If you need to describe the line itself, use the item name or the line note.
