Relation, authorisation and sequence errorsRelation & missing element
CDS12145Relation Error: When declaring the Requested Procedure code 42 in DE 1/10, the Additional Information code NIIMP must be declared in DE 2/3
HMRC explanation
What to check across the Relation, authorisation and sequence errors
Two elements, or a value and a rule, disagree. Read both elements together: completing one element with a particular code often requires another value, and the fault is frequently in the element you did not change. The family also covers parties and authorisations that are not recognised, references that must be unique, and messages sent out of sequence.
A declaration that clears CDS can still be wrong
