What it means
The rule counts direct ram:CountrySubDivisionName children of each ram:PostalTradeAddress inside ram:BuyerAgentTradeParty. Zero or one passes; two or more fail. It checks element count, not the number or correctness of names written inside an element.
Why it matters
The Extended profile provides one optional field for this part of the buyer agent's postal address.
How to fix it
Find the affected ram:PostalTradeAddress in the buyer agent details. Keep the required region, state or province in one ram:CountrySubDivisionName and remove additional elements with that name. If you do not need this field, this rule permits you to omit it. Re-export and recheck your invoice.
