What it means
The check covers all ram elements whose names end in ReferencedDocument, including purchase order references (BT-13), contract references (BT-12) and supporting document references. None may have a ram:GlobalID child element. GlobalID elements elsewhere are outside this rule.
Why it matters
This CII mapping does not use ram:GlobalID to identify referenced documents. The restriction concerns that XML element, not whether a reference number is globally unique.
How to fix it
Find the document reference reported by the check and remove its ram:GlobalID child element. Make sure ram:IssuerAssignedID contains the correct document reference number. Do not remove ram:GlobalID elsewhere in your file because of this rule. Save or regenerate your CII file, then check it again.
