What it means
The unitCode attribute on ram:ChargeFreeQuantity under ram:SpecifiedLineTradeDelivery is checked against code list 15 in FACTUR-X_EXTENDED_codedb.xml. Examples include C62 for a count of items, HUR for hours and KGM for kilograms. An empty value passes this rule. A missing attribute is checked separately by FX-SCH-A-001077.
Why it matters
The unit code identifies what the free-of-charge quantity measures. The profile requires non-empty codes to come from its unit list.
How to fix it
Check the actual unit of measure for the free-of-charge quantity on the affected line. Correct unitCode on ram:ChargeFreeQuantity to the matching allowed code, rather than free text such as pcs or kg. Export the corrected file and check it again.
