PreviousRevisionID should not be present

Why it fails

'…ReferencedDocument/PreviousRevisionID' wherever it appears is present, but this profile does not allow it — nothing in the EN 16931 semantic model maps to it. The rule text names only 'PreviousRevisionID'; the path above is where the rule actually looks.

How to fix it

Remove '…ReferencedDocument/PreviousRevisionID' wherever it appears. It is almost always left over from a generic template or a library that emits every field of the underlying schema. Reported as an error.

…or paste the XML instead

Nothing is stored, and the whole invoice is checked, not just this rule. A PDF only works if it is Factur-X / ZUGFeRD — a PDF with the invoice XML inside it.
