What it means
In the Basic WL, Basic, EN 16931 and Extended profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, each buyer tax registration ram:ID must have a schemeID attribute. This rule checks attribute presence, not whether the value is correct or non-empty.
Why it matters
The scheme identifies the kind of tax registration number recorded in ram:ID.
How to fix it
For the buyer's VAT number, set schemeID to VA on ram:BuyerTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration/ram:ID. If your software generates the XML, check that the source data identifies the number as a VAT number. Ask its supplier to correct an export that omits the attribute, then export and recheck your file.
