Warning

CII-SR-006: Do not include a BIM context block in the header

In short

Warning: worth checking.

CII-SR-006 warns that your CII invoice contains ram:BIMSpecifiedDocumentContextParameter in rsm:ExchangedDocumentContext. Remove that block from the document context and recheck your file.

On this page

What it means

Checks that rsm:ExchangedDocumentContext has no direct ram:BIMSpecifiedDocumentContextParameter child. Its contents do not affect this check.

Why it matters

The EN 16931 CII mapping does not use this context block. The warning concerns the block's presence, not the type of goods or services on your invoice.

How to fix it

Remove the whole ram:BIMSpecifiedDocumentContextParameter block from rsm:ExchangedDocumentContext. If your invoicing software adds it, ask your software supplier to omit it from the CII export. Recheck the corrected file.

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
