FX-SCH-A-000517: Check the payee's company registration scheme

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000517 means the scheme code on the payee's company registration number (BT-61) is not in the registration scheme list used by the Basic profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD. Use the listed four-digit ISO 6523 code matching the register, such as 0009 for a French SIRET or 0106 for a Dutch KvK number.

What it means

The payee details (BG-10) identify a payment recipient other than the seller. This rule checks a non-empty schemeID on ram:PayeeTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:ID against the profile's registration scheme list. It does not check the registration number itself or determine whether the payee details must be supplied.

Why it matters

The scheme identifies the registration system used for the payee's company registration number.

How to fix it

Check which register issued the payee's company registration number. Correct schemeID on ram:PayeeTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:ID under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement to the matching listed code, preserving leading zeroes. Keep the registration number consistent with that scheme and recheck the corrected file.
