What it means
The check requires schemeAgencyID to be absent from the specification identifier (BT-24), invoice number (BT-1), invoice line identifier (BT-126) and seller's item identifier (BT-155). It does not check other attributes or other identifiers.
Why it matters
The CII mapping for these fields does not include the code of the agency responsible for the identifier scheme.
How to fix it
Find the affected ram:ID under ram:GuidelineSpecifiedDocumentContextParameter or rsm:ExchangedDocument, ram:LineID under ram:AssociatedDocumentLineDocument, or ram:SellerAssignedID under ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct. Remove only schemeAgencyID from that element and keep its value. Save or regenerate your CII file, then check it again.
