What it means
This rule checks the character count of your invoice number (BT-1) at rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:ExchangedDocument/ram:ID. The limit is 35 characters, counting spaces and symbols as well as letters and digits.
Why it matters
The French CII rules set this length limit for the invoice number. A longer number fails this check.
How to fix it
Correct the invoice number in your source invoice so it contains no more than 35 characters, keeping it consistent with your invoice records. Generate the CII file again and check that rsm:ExchangedDocument/ram:ID contains the corrected number. Recheck the corrected file.
