What it means
For each invoice line (BG-25), the rule checks that ram:MSDSReferenceReferencedDocument is absent from ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct (BG-31).
Why it matters
The EN 16931 CII mapping does not use this dedicated product-level reference to a safety data sheet. Invoice-level supporting documents (BG-24) are separate from this excluded element.
How to fix it
Remove ram:MSDSReferenceReferencedDocument from the line's product details. If you need to include the safety data sheet, add it as an invoice-level attachment (BG-24). Export the corrected file and check it again.
Once the file is corrected, check it again for free: Validate an invoice against EN 16931
Or fix the invoice in a form and download the corrected file, for 1 credit: Fix a rejected e-invoice
