Warning

CII-SR-060: Remove the separate drained net weight element

In short

Warning: worth checking.

CII-SR-060 warns that a CII invoice line contains ram:DrainedNetWeightMeasure. Remove this element. If you need the weight of the contents after draining off the liquid, retain it in an item attribute (BG-32) or the item description (BT-154).

What it means

The test checks that the line's ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct, representing item information (BG-31), has no direct ram:DrainedNetWeightMeasure child.

Why it matters

EN 16931 does not map this separate drained net weight element. Relevant product weight information can be retained in the supported description or attribute fields.

How to fix it

Remove ram:DrainedNetWeightMeasure from the exported product details. If the weight matters, record its value and unit in an item attribute (BG-32) named Drained weight, or in ram:Description (BT-154). Export the revised file and check it again.
