FX-SCH-A-000327: A logistics charge needs exactly one amount

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000327 means a logistics service charge in your Factur-X or ZUGFeRD Extended file has no amount or has more than one amount element (ram:AppliedAmount). Correct the charge so it contains exactly one.

On this page

What it means

Each ram:SpecifiedLogisticsServiceCharge under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement must contain exactly one direct ram:AppliedAmount child. This test counts the elements, not the amounts they contain.

Why it matters

The charge needs one amount field in this structure. Leaving it out or repeating it breaks that requirement, even if repeated elements contain identical amounts.

How to fix it

Check the amount for the affected logistics service charge, such as shipping or freight. Add the missing ram:AppliedAmount or remove duplicate amount elements so its ram:SpecifiedLogisticsServiceCharge contains exactly one correct amount. Export the file again and recheck it.
