What it means
The rule checks that rsm:ExchangedDocument has no direct ram:PreviousRevisionID child, regardless of the value it contains.
Why it matters
The EN 16931 CII mapping does not use this previous revision field. An earlier revision of a document is not necessarily a separate earlier invoice.
How to fix it
Remove the whole ram:PreviousRevisionID element from rsm:ExchangedDocument. If you need to reference an earlier invoice, enter its invoice number in the preceding invoice reference (BT-25). Do not copy a revision identifier there unless it is actually that invoice's number. Check the file again.
