What it means
Every note in the document header (ram:IncludedNote) may contain at most one ram:Content element, which is the text of the note. This check applies to the Extended profile of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD.
Why it matters
A note is one message with one text. Two texts in a single note do not fit the profile, so the file fails the check and the recipient's system can reject it.
How to fix it
In your invoicing software, look at the notes or remarks on the invoice. If one note holds text in several parts, join the parts into a single text or enter them as separate notes. If you build the XML yourself, give each ram:IncludedNote at most one ram:Content and add another ram:IncludedNote for each further text.
