What it means
Each ram:IssuerAssignedID inside ram:InvoiceReferencedDocument under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement is checked for a maximum length of 35 characters, including spaces.
Why it matters
The reference identifies the earlier invoice linked to your document. The French CII rules set a length limit for this field.
How to fix it
Compare the preceding invoice reference (BT-25) with the number on the earlier invoice. Remove labels, dates or spaces only if they are not part of that number. If the original number itself exceeds 35 characters, check with whoever issued the earlier invoice how to resolve the reference rather than cutting it off. After correcting ram:InvoiceReferencedDocument/ram:IssuerAssignedID, recheck your file.
