What it means
The test checks that the line's ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct, representing item information (BG-31), has no direct ram:VariableMeasureIndicator child. It checks whether the element exists, regardless of its value.
Why it matters
EN 16931 does not use this separate indicator in the product details. This rule does not require you to change how you measure or price the product.
How to fix it
Omit ram:VariableMeasureIndicator from the CII export rather than changing an operational variable measure or catch-weight setting you still need. Keep the actual invoiced quantity (BT-129) and its unit of measure (BT-130). If your software keeps including the element, ask its supplier to correct the export. Export the revised file and check it again.
