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:RevisionID child element.
Why it matters
Revision information in ram:RevisionID is outside the permitted CII structure for these document references.
How to fix it
Find the document reference reported by the check and remove its ram:RevisionID child element, including that child's contents. Keep the original document reference number unchanged; do not append the revision merely to avoid this error. Save or regenerate your CII file, then check it again.
