The Item classification identifier (BT-158) shall have a Scheme identifier.

Why it fails

The Item classification identifier (BT-158) has no scheme identifier.

How to fix it

Add listID to the item's CommodityClassification code, e.g. STI for CPV, MP for UNSPSC, TSP for a supplier's own classification.
