What it means
The rule checks for ram:ID inside any ram:IncludedNote directly under rsm:ExchangedDocument. It does not target the header's own ram:ID element.
Why it matters
The EN 16931 CII mapping provides note text (BT-22) and an optional note subject code (BT-21), but no separate identifier for the note.
How to fix it
Remove ram:ID only from the affected header ram:IncludedNote elements. Keep the invoice number (BT-1) in ram:ID directly under rsm:ExchangedDocument. Keep the note text (BT-22) and any note subject code (BT-21), then check the file again.
