What it means
For each invoice line, the rule checks ram:SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement/ram:ApplicableTradeTax/ram:CategoryCode (BT-151). It warns whenever that CategoryCode has a listAgencyID attribute, even if the attribute is empty.
Why it matters
The listAgencyID attribute identifies the organisation responsible for a code list. This rule excludes that extra identifier from the line's VAT category code.
How to fix it
Find the affected line's CategoryCode inside ApplicableTradeTax under SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement. Delete only its listAgencyID attribute, not the CategoryCode element or its value. If your software adds the attribute, ask its supplier to correct the CII export. Generate the file again and recheck it.
