What it means
The check looks for QuotationReferencedDocument directly inside SpecifiedLineTradeAgreement on an invoice line (BG-25). It concerns the quotation reference at this specific location.
Why it matters
This line-level quotation element is outside the EN 16931 mapping. A note lets you retain a quotation number without assigning it to an unrelated order or contract reference field.
How to fix it
Remove QuotationReferencedDocument from each affected line's SpecifiedLineTradeAgreement. If the quotation number is needed on the invoice, add it to an invoice note and identify it clearly as a quotation reference. Re-export and recheck the file.
Once the file is corrected, check it again for free: Validate an invoice against EN 16931
