What it means
Every CII reference element whose name ends in ReferencedDocument must be free of ram:SectionName, which identifies a section or chapter of the referenced document. The test has no exceptions.
Why it matters
This CII mapping does not provide a field for a referenced document's section name.
How to fix it
Remove ram:SectionName from the contract, order or other affected reference. If you need to explain which section applies, include that information in the invoice note (BT-22). If your invoicing software keeps adding the element, ask its supplier to correct the CII export. Export the corrected file and recheck it.
Once the file is corrected, check it again for free: Validate an invoice against EN 16931
Or fix the invoice in a form and download the corrected file, for 1 credit: Fix a rejected e-invoice
