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:AllowanceCharge[cbc:ChargeIndicator = true()]/cbc:AllowanceChargeReasonCode
CII
ram:SpecifiedTradeAllowanceCharge[ram:ChargeIndicator/udt:Indicator = true()]/ram:ReasonCode
