What it means
A supplied global delivery location identifier BT-71 requires its scheme BT-71-1. In UBL, the test checks every cbc:ID within each cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryLocation for a schemeID attribute. It 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 delivery location identifier belongs to.
How to fix it
Correct BT-71-1 alongside the affected delivery location identifier (BT-71). In UBL, set schemeID on cbc:ID within cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryLocation. For CII, correct the corresponding BT-71-1 field. Use the identifier's actual scheme rather than deleting an identifier you still need. Check the corrected file again.
