What it means
In UBL invoices and credit notes, this rule checks the buyer identifier (BT-46) at cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID only when schemeID is 0224. In CII, it checks ram:BuyerTradeParty/ram:GlobalID only when schemeID is 0224. The value may contain only letters A to Z and a to z, digits, plus signs (+), hyphens (-), underscores (_) and full stops (.). Identifiers using other schemes are outside this rule's scope.
Why it matters
The French rules restrict the characters you can use in a private identifier with scheme 0224. A value outside that set fails this check.
How to fix it
Find the buyer identifier (BT-46) with scheme 0224. Confirm its value and scheme with the buyer or whoever assigned it, then correct the value or schemeID of cbc:ID in UBL or ram:GlobalID in CII if either was recorded incorrectly. Do not simply delete characters from a genuine identifier. Export the corrected file and check it again.
