What it means
The check looks for ApplicableTradeDeliveryTerms directly inside SpecifiedLineTradeAgreement on an invoice line (BG-25). It concerns delivery terms, such as an Incoterm, rather than the delivery date.
Why it matters
EN 16931 does not map delivery terms through this line-level element. You can retain necessary wording in a note without relying on this unsupported block.
How to fix it
Remove ApplicableTradeDeliveryTerms from each affected line's SpecifiedLineTradeAgreement. If the buyer needs the delivery terms on the invoice, add the relevant wording to an invoice note. Re-export and recheck the file.
