What it means
In UBL, the check compares the number of schemeID attributes on cac:PayeeParty/cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID elements with the number of distinct scheme values. A repeated scheme fails whether the identifier values are identical or different. Missing attributes are outside this comparison and are checked by BR-FR-CO-10_BT-60-1.
Why it matters
Keeping one payee identifier per scheme gives each scheme a single identifier value for your recipient to use.
How to fix it
Compare the payee identifiers and their scheme codes. Remove duplicate entries. If different identifiers genuinely use the same scheme, keep the one that should identify the payee on this invoice. Correct a scheme code only if it is wrong for the identifier. Check the corrected file again.
