What it means
This rule compares a non-empty unitCode value on ram:PerPackageUnitQuantity inside ram:SpecifiedLineTradeDelivery with the Extended profile's unit code list. An absent or empty value does not fail this test. FX-SCH-A-001085 separately checks that the attribute exists.
Why it matters
The unit code gives the quantity inside each package a consistent meaning across software.
How to fix it
Correct the unit for the quantity per package in your invoice data. In XML, replace unitCode on ram:PerPackageUnitQuantity inside the line's ram:SpecifiedLineTradeDelivery with the appropriate listed code. Examples include C62 for a count, KGM for kilograms and LTR for litres. Export and recheck your file.
