Official rule message (standard)

Each Additional supporting document (BG-24) shall contain a Supporting document reference (BT-122).

Where the rule applies

Syntax: CII · UBL

The same rule, expressed twice: UBL and CII name the same fields with different paths. Running a CII file against the UBL rules is why you get errors that mean nothing.

UBL

  • cac:AdditionalDocumentReference

CII

  • //ram:AdditionalReferencedDocument

Technical test

The rule passes when this Schematron expression holds true:

normalize-space(ram:IssuerAssignedID) != ''
