What it means
An invoice or credit note can refer to a tender or lot (BT-17) through cac:OriginatorDocumentReference, and EN 16931 uses only the identifier (cbc:ID) inside it. This rule checks that there is no cac:ResultOfVerification, which would record the outcome of a check made on the referenced document.
Why it matters
This is a warning, so the file is still accepted. A verification result of a tender document has no place in an invoice, so the recipient's software cannot map it and usually ignores it. It is worth removing so the file follows the standard exactly.
How to fix it
This block is normally written by software, not typed by you. Export the invoice again from your invoicing software, and if the block is still there, update the software or ask its supplier to stop writing it. If you build the XML yourself, delete cac:ResultOfVerification from cac:OriginatorDocumentReference.
