CII-SR-208: Leave product weight loss information out of invoice lines

What it means

The settlement section of each line (BG-25) must not contain ProductWeightLossInformationAmount, an amount that describes weight loss of the product.

Why it matters

This is a warning, so the invoice is still accepted. EN 16931 gives this figure no meaning, so the recipient will not read or book it. If the buyer needs to know about it, it has to be said somewhere the standard does read.

How to fix it

Delete ProductWeightLossInformationAmount from the line. If the information matters to the buyer, put it in the line note (BT-127) or in the item description. If your software adds the element on its own, choose its EN 16931 or XRechnung output.
