FX-SCH-A-000453: Add the delivery location identifier's scheme

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000453 means your delivery location's global identifier (BT-71) is missing its schemeID attribute (BT-71-1). Add the matching identification scheme code, such as 0088 for a GLN.

What it means

Each ram:GlobalID inside ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:ShipToTradeParty must have a schemeID attribute. This rule checks only attribute presence, not whether the value is empty or allowed. It applies to the Basic WL, Basic, EN 16931 and Extended profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD.

Why it matters

The scheme code identifies the numbering scheme used for your delivery location identifier. The presence check does not establish whether the code or identifier is correct.

How to fix it

Check which scheme your delivery location's global identifier uses. Add its matching schemeID to ram:GlobalID inside ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:ShipToTradeParty, for example schemeID="0088" for a GLN. Export your corrected file and recheck it.
