What it means
The settlement section of each line (BG-25) must not contain SalesSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount, a sales accounting account. The only accounting hint a line may carry is the buyer accounting reference (BT-133), in the ID of ReceivableSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount.
Why it matters
This is a warning, so the invoice is still accepted. A sales account is usually part of your own bookkeeping, and the standard has no place for it, so the recipient ignores it. Sending it adds nothing for the buyer.
How to fix it
Delete SalesSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount from the line. Keep your ledger codes in your accounting software rather than in the file you send. If your invoicing software exports them, look for a setting that includes accounting data in the e-invoice and switch it off.
