What it means
Within ram:BuyerAgentTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:PostalTradeAddress, ram:CountrySubDivisionName may appear once or not at all. The check counts elements, regardless of whether repeated values are identical.
Why it matters
The Extended profile provides one optional region element in this address. Repeating it breaks that structure.
How to fix it
Check the region, state or province in the company address of the buyer's agent. Remove extra ram:CountrySubDivisionName elements from that address, keeping the correct value once. You may omit this optional element. Export the invoice again and recheck it.
