What it means
This counts the direct ram:Description children of each line's ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct. Zero or one is allowed. The item description is BT-154 and is separate from the item name (BT-153). The rule applies to the EN 16931 and Extended profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD.
Why it matters
These profiles represent the item description as one optional element, rather than several repeated description elements.
How to fix it
Combine the repeated descriptions into one ram:Description and remove the extra elements. Keep the item name (BT-153) separate. If some text belongs in a line note (BT-127) rather than the product description, move only that text to the note. Correct the export and recheck the file.
