What it means
Within a line's ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct, this rule checks that no ram:DesignatedProductClassification contains a ram:SystemName child. This particular test does not check the classification code (BT-158) or its listID attribute.
Why it matters
The EN 16931 CII mapping identifies the classification scheme through listID on ram:ClassCode, rather than through a separate system name element. This warning alone does not establish whether the invoice will be accepted.
How to fix it
Keep the item's classification code in ram:ClassCode. Find the UNTDID 7143 code for its classification scheme and put that code in listID; do not copy the written system name there. Remove ram:SystemName from the affected ram:DesignatedProductClassification. If your software cannot produce this structure, ask your software supplier to correct the CII export. Recheck the file.
