What it means
Checks that ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement contains no ram:PurchaseSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount block. The invoice-level buyer accounting reference (BT-19) uses ram:ReceivableSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount/ram:ID instead.
Why it matters
EN 16931 does not use this purchase accounting block in its CII syntax. The warning does not show whether the recipient reads the account or accepts the file.
How to fix it
Remove ram:PurchaseSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount from ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement. If your buyer requested an accounting reference (BT-19), enter the agreed reference in ram:ReceivableSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount/ram:ID instead. If your software generates the unwanted block, ask your software supplier to correct the export. Recheck the file.
