What it means
Inside the delivery details (ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery), the delivery event (ActualDeliverySupplyChainEvent) should not contain a LatestOccurrenceDateTime, the latest date and time at which the delivery took place. The delivery date (BT-72) is a single date in OccurrenceDateTime, and that element is allowed.
Why it matters
This is a warning, so the file is still accepted. EN 16931 has no field for a latest delivery date and time, so receiving software normally drops it. If the buyer relies on that value, it never reaches them.
How to fix it
Check the delivery details of the invoice in your invoicing software and keep one delivery date. Clear any end date or delivery window if the software offers one. If you can choose a profile when you export, pick EN 16931 rather than Extended. It is worth fixing when the buyer needs the date, because only the single delivery date is read.
