currencyID MUST be coded using ISO code list 4217 alpha-3
What does this rule mean?
A currency identifier (currencyID) is not a valid ISO 4217 alpha-3 code.
Amounts must state their currency with the three-letter ISO 4217 code (e.g. EUR), otherwise the amount is ambiguous.
Official rule message (standard)

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
cbc:Amount | cbc:BaseAmount | cbc:PriceAmount | cbc:TaxAmount | cbc:TaxableAmount | cbc:LineExtensionAmount | cbc:TaxExclusiveAmount | cbc:TaxInclusiveAmount | cbc:AllowanceTotalAmount | cbc:ChargeTotalAmount | cbc:PrepaidAmount | cbc:PayableRoundingAmount | cbc:PayableAmount
CII
ram:TaxTotalAmount[@currencyID]
