What it means
The check applies to every CII ram element whose name ends in Quantity. It requires unitCodeListID to be absent. It does not check the unitCode value or require a unitCode to be present. A billed quantity's unit of measure is BT-130.
Why it matters
This CII mapping does not permit the extra unit code list identifier on quantities. The unitCode attribute is a separate field.
How to fix it
Remove unitCodeListID from each affected quantity. Keep the intended unitCode value, such as C62 or HUR. If your software adds the list identifier, 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
