Warning

CII-SR-065: Leave out the announced cancellation date

In short

Warning: worth checking.

CII-SR-065 warns that your line's product details contain ram:FormattedCancellationAnnouncedLaunchDateTime. Remove this element from ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct because the EN 16931 CII mapping does not use it.

On this page

What it means

This rule checks that a line's ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct element, the item information block (BG-31), has no ram:FormattedCancellationAnnouncedLaunchDateTime child. It checks the element's presence, not its date value.

Why it matters

This product element is outside the EN 16931 CII mapping. The warning does not establish whether the invoice will be accepted.

How to fix it

Remove ram:FormattedCancellationAnnouncedLaunchDateTime from the affected line's ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct. If the buyer needs the information, preserve it as clear text in the item description (BT-154), written in ram:Description, where appropriate. If your software keeps adding the element, ask your software supplier to omit it from the CII export. Recheck the corrected file.
