What it means
Counts the direct ram:BusinessProcessSpecifiedDocumentContextParameter children of rsm:ExchangedDocumentContext. Zero or one passes this rule; two or more trigger a warning. The rule does not check their contents.
Why it matters
The CII mapping allows at most one context block for the business process type (BT-23), rather than a list of business processes.
How to fix it
Find these blocks inside rsm:ExchangedDocumentContext. If you include a business process, keep the block for the intended BT-23 value and remove the others. This rule does not require you to add a missing block. Recheck the file.
