BR-FR-CO-10_EXT-FR-FE-146-2: Use each scheme only once for a line delivery location

In short

Fatal: fails the selected checks.

BR-FR-CO-10_EXT-FR-FE-146-2 means more than one identifier of a delivery location on an invoice or credit note line (EXT-FR-FE-146) uses the same scheme code. Keep at most one identifier per scheme for that location.

What it means

Within each line delivery location, the scheme codes on its identifiers must be unique. In UBL, the test compares schemeID values on the cbc:ID elements directly within that line's cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryLocation. It does not compare identifiers across different locations or check for missing scheme attributes.

Why it matters

Using each scheme once gives the line's delivery location one identifier for each numbering system used.

How to fix it

Compare the identifiers (EXT-FR-FE-146) and schemes (EXT-FR-FE-148) for the affected line's delivery location. Remove duplicate entries. If different identifiers correctly use the same scheme, keep the identifier intended for that location. Change a scheme only if it is wrong for the identifier. Export the corrected invoice or credit note and recheck it.
