DK-R-016
For Danish Suppliers, a Credit note cannot have a negative total (DuePayableAmount)
What does this rule mean?
A Danish credit note has a negative total.
In Denmark a credit note carries positive amounts; the sign comes from the document type, not from the figures.

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
ubl-creditnote:CreditNote[$DKSupplierCountry = 'DK'] | ubl-invoice:Invoice[$DKSupplierCountry = 'DK']
CII
rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice[$DKSupplierCountry = 'DK']
Technical test
The rule passes when this Schematron expression holds true:
not((($DKCustomerCountry = 'DK') and (normalize-space(rsm:ExchangedDocument/ram:TypeCode/text()) = '381'))
and (number(rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementHeaderMonetarySummation/ram:DuePayableAmount/text()) < 0)
