What it means
Checks a non-empty ram:InvoiceCurrencyCode in ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement against currency code list 42. An empty value passes this test, which does not check whether the currency element must be present.
Why it matters
The invoice currency is identified by a standardised code. A currency symbol or name is not a substitute for that code in the structured data.
How to fix it
Correct the invoice currency field exported as ram:InvoiceCurrencyCode under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement. Use the allowed code for the actual invoice currency, such as EUR rather than € or Euro. Keep the code in capitals. Export the corrected invoice and check it again.
