What does this mean?
The MIME code of an embedded attachment (attached document Mime code, BT-125-1) must be one of the media types permitted by EN 16931: application/pdf, image/png, image/jpeg, text/csv, application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet (Excel) or application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet (OpenDocument spreadsheet). The value given is not permitted.
CII: ram:AttachmentBinaryObject/@mimeCode is checked. UBL: cbc:EmbeddedDocumentBinaryObject/@mimeCode is checked.
Typical causes
The attachment has a format that is not permitted, e.g. Word (application/msword), XML or ZIP.
The MIME code is misspelled, e.g. image/jpg instead of image/jpeg, or in upper case.
The file extension (pdf) was given instead of the MIME code.
How to fix the error
Convert the attachment into one of the permitted formats, e.g. PDF, and set mimeCode accordingly.
State the MIME code exactly in the permitted spelling.
Generate and validate the invoice again.
