What it means
The test checks that the line's ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct, representing item information (BG-31), has no direct ram:EndItemTypeCode child. It does not check the code's meaning or value.
Why it matters
EN 16931 does not use a separate ram:EndItemTypeCode field in this part of the CII invoice. Relevant descriptive information can be recorded in the supported description or attribute fields.
How to fix it
Remove ram:EndItemTypeCode from the exported product details. Retain any useful explanation in ram:Description (BT-154) or an item attribute (BG-32). Export the revised CII file and check it again.
