The applied price allowance indicator is neither “true” nor “false”
In CII syntax, `ram:ChargeIndicator/udt:Indicator` must be exactly `true` or `false` on allowances applied to the price (`AppliedTradeAllowanceCharge`).
Only the issuer holds this value: Factlint reports it and never fabricates it. Test your invoice to find out whether it is affected.

Test your file with this error in mind
Upload the invoice involved: the report will say whether this code appears, where it appears in the document, and whether Factlint can only report it or also fix it.
To automate this check in an ERP flow, call the validation API and link every returned code to its public page.
Why this error happens
The same requirement as `PEPPOL-EN16931-R043-1`, on the other CII location: the allowance that takes the gross price down to the net price. It is also the only one for which `PEPPOL-EN16931-R044` imposes the value `false`.
How to fix it
Have your generator write `true` or `false`. Factlint does not normalise this value: it governs the direction of an amount.
