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.

Technical test

The rule passes when this Schematron expression holds true:

(/rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:ActualDeliverySupplyChainEvent/ram:OccurrenceDateTime/udt:DateTimeString) or (../../ram:BillingSpecifiedPeriod/ram:StartDateTime) or (../../ram:BillingSpecifiedPeriod/ram:EndDateTime)
