What it means
The check flags ram:CalculationSequenceNumeric in every CII ram element whose name ends in TradeTax. This includes tax blocks in the VAT breakdown, on lines, and on document-level discounts or charges. The element specifies an order for tax calculations.
Why it matters
This calculation sequence field is not part of the CII tax mapping used here. The warning does not establish acceptance or show how receiving software will treat the element.
How to fix it
Remove ram:CalculationSequenceNumeric from the affected tax block. Do not change the VAT rate, taxable amount or VAT amount merely to remove this extra field. If your software keeps adding it, 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
