What it means
For each invoice line (BG-25), the rule checks that no ram:IncludedReferencedProduct elements are present in ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct (BG-31).
Why it matters
The EN 16931 CII mapping does not use these nested product-reference blocks. This does not stop you from describing what a bundle contains in a supported field.
How to fix it
Remove every ram:IncludedReferencedProduct from the line's product details. If you need to list the components, include them in the item description (BT-154). If you invoice the components separately, give each its own invoice line. 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
