What it means
Checks that each ram:IssuerAssignedID under ram:SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement/ram:InvoiceReferencedDocument on a CII invoice line contains no more than 35 characters. Spaces count towards the limit.
Why it matters
The French CII requirements limit this line-level invoice reference to 35 characters. A longer value fails this rule.
How to fix it
Find the affected line's ram:InvoiceReferencedDocument/ram:IssuerAssignedID and compare its value with the number on the referenced invoice. Remove any text or spaces that are not part of that number. Do not truncate the actual invoice number. If the number itself exceeds 35 characters, ask the issuer of the referenced invoice to clarify how to resolve the reference. Once you have corrected the value, generate the CII file again and recheck it.
