What it means
A supplied global payee identifier BT-60 requires its scheme BT-60-1. In UBL, every cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID within cac:PayeeParty must have a schemeID attribute. The test checks attribute presence, not whether the scheme value is filled in or correct.
Why it matters
The scheme tells your recipient which identification system the payee's identifier belongs to.
How to fix it
Correct BT-60-1 alongside each affected payee identifier (BT-60), using its actual identification scheme. In UBL, set schemeID on the relevant cac:PayeeParty/cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID. Do not remove a needed payee to avoid this check. If your software cannot export the scheme, ask its supplier to correct the export. Check the corrected file again.
