What it means
The test counts document-level notes (BG-1) whose ram:SubjectCode (BT-21) equals PMD. It allows zero or one matching note. Notes with other subject codes, or no subject code, do not count. BR-FR-05_BT-22_PMD separately requires a PMD note to be present.
Why it matters
The format limits PMD to one document-level note so your late payment penalty statement is kept together.
How to fix it
Under rsm:ExchangedDocument, find every ram:IncludedNote whose ram:SubjectCode is PMD. Keep one and put the wording that matches your late payment penalty terms in its ram:Content (BT-22). Check any differences between the notes before combining relevant wording and removing the duplicates. Generate the file again and recheck it.
