What it means
Checks that SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation under each line's SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement has no InformationAmount child.
Why it matters
InformationAmount is not part of the EN 16931 CII mapping for line totals. This rule does not establish how a recipient might display or process the extra amount.
How to fix it
Delete InformationAmount from the affected line's SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation, leaving LineTotalAmount (BT-131). If the information is relevant to the buyer, explain it in the line's description or note instead. If your software adds the element, ask its vendor to change the CII export. Recheck your file.
