What it means
The delivery party (ShipToTradeParty) is described by name, location identifier and address. This rule checks that it has no LogoAssociatedSpecifiedBinaryFile, an image file embedded in the structured data as that party's logo.
Why it matters
The structured data of an e-invoice is for figures and identifiers, and recipient software does not show logos from it. The invoice is not rejected, but the image only makes the file larger.
How to fix it
A logo here normally comes from a customer or address record that has an image attached. Remove the image from the delivery address record, or turn off image export in the e-invoice settings. The visible PDF can keep its logos; only the structured data is affected.
