What it means
For each invoice line (BG-25), the rule checks that ram:InformationNote is absent from ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct (BG-31). It does not prohibit the supported invoice line note (BT-127).
Why it matters
The EN 16931 CII mapping does not use this product information-note element. It provides separate fields for an item description (BT-154) and an invoice line note (BT-127).
How to fix it
Check the text in ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct/ram:InformationNote. Put product descriptions in the item description (BT-154), or information about the line as a whole in the invoice line note (BT-127). Remove the original ram:InformationNote from the product details. Export the corrected file and check it again.
