What it means
Each ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement may contain no more than one direct ram:PayeeTradeParty child. This rule does not require a payee entry or check its details.
Why it matters
Payee information in this part of the payment terms has a maximum of one entry. Repeating the element exceeds that limit even if the entries identify the same payee.
How to fix it
Check who should receive the payment under the affected terms. Keep no more than one ram:PayeeTradeParty inside that ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms block, with the appropriate payee's details. You do not need to add a payee solely for this rule. Export the file again and recheck it.
