Warning

CII-SR-100: Remove the rights owner block from the product details

In short

Warning: worth checking.

CII-SR-100 warns that a line on your CII invoice contains ram:LegalRightsOwnerTradeParty in its product details. Remove this legal rights owner block. If you need to identify the rights owner, use the item description (BT-154).

What it means

For each invoice line (BG-25), the rule checks that ram:LegalRightsOwnerTradeParty is absent from ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct (BG-31).

Why it matters

The EN 16931 CII mapping does not use a dedicated legal rights owner party within product details. The restriction applies to this product-level element, not to all information about parties other than the seller and buyer.

How to fix it

Remove ram:LegalRightsOwnerTradeParty from the line's product details. If you need to include the rights owner's name or other relevant rights information, put it in the item description (BT-154). Export the corrected file and check it again.
