FX-SCH-A-000506: Check the delivery location identifier's scheme

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000506 means the scheme code on the delivery location identifier (BT-71) is not in the identifier scheme list used by the Basic profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD. Use the listed four-digit ISO 6523 code matching the identifier, such as 0088 for a GLN.

What it means

The delivery location identifier identifies where the goods or services were delivered. This rule checks a non-empty schemeID on ram:ShipToTradeParty/ram:GlobalID against the profile's identifier scheme list. It does not check the identifier's value or establish whether the identifier must be supplied.

Why it matters

The scheme identifies the numbering system used for the delivery location identifier.

How to fix it

Check the numbering system of your delivery location identifier. Correct schemeID on ram:ShipToTradeParty/ram:GlobalID under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery to the matching listed code, preserving leading zeroes. For example, use 0088 for a GLN and 0060 for a DUNS number. Recheck the corrected file.
