What does UBL-DT-13 mean? Unit code list identifier attribute should not be present

Why did my invoice fail UBL-DT-13?

The unitCodeListID attribute should not be present on quantity elements. EN 16931 fixes the unit code list (UN/ECE Recommendation 20/21), so identifying the list on each element is redundant and outside the core model. Provide only unitCode.
