NL-R-003
For suppliers in the Netherlands, the legal entity identifier MUST be either a KVK or OIN number (schemeID 0106 or 0190)
What does this rule mean?
A Dutch seller's legal entity identifier is neither a KVK nor an OIN number.
The Netherlands accept only the KVK trade-register number (schemeID 0106) or the OIN public-body identifier (0190).

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:
(contains(concat(' ', string-join(@schemeID, ' '), ' '), ' 0106 ') or contains(concat(' ', string-join(@schemeID, ' '), ' '), ' 0190 ')) and (normalize-space(.) != '')How to fix it
