FX-SCH-A-000328: Each logistics charge needs tax details

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000328 means a logistics service charge in your Factur-X or ZUGFeRD Extended file has no tax entry (ram:AppliedTradeTax). Add at least one tax entry with the details that apply to that charge.

What it means

Each ram:SpecifiedLogisticsServiceCharge under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement must contain one or more direct ram:AppliedTradeTax children. This test counts tax entries; it does not check their categories, rates or other contents.

Why it matters

A logistics charge amount does not itself provide the charge's tax details. The Extended profile requires those details to have at least one ram:AppliedTradeTax entry.

How to fix it

Check the tax details for the affected shipping, freight or other logistics charge. Add the appropriate ram:AppliedTradeTax entry inside its ram:SpecifiedLogisticsServiceCharge. If your software does not export that entry, ask its supplier to correct the export. Export the file again and recheck it.
