What it means
This rule checks the delivery address (BG-15) and warns if it contains a room element (cbc:Room inside cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryLocation/cac:Address). It applies to invoices and credit notes. EN 16931 has no separate field for a room number, so the element is not part of the invoice model.
Why it matters
EN 16931 does not use a separate room element in the delivery address.
How to fix it
Check whether your invoicing software exports the delivery address room in its own element. If the buyer needs it, add it to the street line or an extra address line, for example 'Station Road 12, room 204'. If you build the XML yourself, delete cbc:Room from cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryLocation/cac:Address and move the text into cbc:StreetName or cbc:AdditionalStreetName in the same address. If nobody needs the room, you can simply remove it. Recheck the corrected file.
