FX-SCH-A-000340: At most one grand total per line totals block

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000340 means a line totals block in your Factur-X or ZUGFeRD Extended file contains more than one grand total element (ram:GrandTotalAmount). Remove extra occurrences from the affected block.

What it means

Each ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation inside a line's ram:SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement may contain at most one direct ram:GrandTotalAmount child. This test does not require the element or check how its amount is calculated.

Why it matters

The Extended profile provides for no more than one grand total element in each line totals block. Repeating it exceeds that limit even if every occurrence contains the same amount.

How to fix it

Check the grand total recorded for the affected line. Keep no more than one appropriate ram:GrandTotalAmount inside its ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation and remove repetitions. You do not need to add this element solely for this rule. Export the file again and recheck it.
