BR-DE-31 An XRechnung direct debit requires the debited account
noun · XRechnung · fatal · BG-19 / BT-91
For a sample invoice, the library reports: The invoice carries a DIRECT DEBIT group (BG-19), so the debited account identifier (BT-91) must be present. It is the account the money will be taken from — the payer's IBAN, not yours.

- Business term
BG-19 / BT-91- Severity
fatal
The fix
Set payment.directDebit.debitedAccount to the payer's IBAN, exactly as it appears on the signed mandate. If you do not hold it, you do not have a usable mandate, and the invoice should ask for a credit transfer instead (payment.meansCode "58" with payment.iban).

xpath is always a UBL path. On a CII invoice, look for the
matching CII field instead.
