What it means
The gross price block of an invoice line (GrossPriceProductTradePrice, inside SpecifiedLineTradeAgreement) contains an OrderUnitConversionFactorNumeric, a factor for converting between the unit the goods were ordered in and the unit the price is quoted in. The invoice standard has no such factor.
Why it matters
A recipient that ignores the factor works with the price and quantity as written. This is a warning and the invoice is still accepted. It is worth fixing if your price and quantity are in different units, because the figures on the line then need to be converted into the same unit before they are written to the file.
How to fix it
Remove the factor from the price of every line. Check that the unit price and the quantity on the line are in the same unit, so that quantity times unit price gives the line amount excluding VAT. If your software converts units on export, convert the figures there so the file shows the final values.
