What it means
In the Factur-X and ZUGFeRD Basic WL profiles, this rule checks schemeID on ram:SellerTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:ID. The list uses ISO 6523 scheme codes, such as 0106 for a Dutch KvK number, 0009 for a French SIRET or 0060 for a DUNS number. An empty code value passes this particular test.
Why it matters
The scheme code identifies the type of company registration identifier. It does not establish whether the number itself is correct or whether a recipient will reject the file.
How to fix it
Check which identification scheme your company registration number uses. Correct schemeID on ram:ID inside ram:SellerTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization. If the scheme is optional for your invoice and you cannot identify it, remove the attribute rather than guessing a code. Keep the company registration number. Export your corrected file and recheck it.
