What it means
This rule allows zero or one ram:ID inside ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:ShipToTradeParty. It does not count ram:GlobalID elements. It applies to the Basic WL, Basic, EN 16931 and Extended profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD.
Why it matters
These profiles provide at most one ram:ID for the delivery location. Repeating that element exceeds the structural limit.
How to fix it
Check the identifier you supplied for the delivery location, such as a site or warehouse number. Remove additional ram:ID elements from ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:ShipToTradeParty, leaving the intended identifier. Export your corrected file and recheck it.
