FX-SCH-A-000669: Accepted address scheme for the buyer's agent

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000669 means a non-empty schemeID on the electronic address of the buyer's agent is outside the Extended profile's accepted electronic address scheme list. Replace it with the listed code that matches the address.

On this page

What it means

The check compares a non-empty schemeID on ram:BuyerAgentTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication/ram:URIID with the profile's electronic address scheme list. An empty value passes this test. FX-SCH-A-000668 checks whether the attribute exists, not whether it is non-empty.

Why it matters

A listed scheme code identifies the address type using the values defined by the profile.

How to fix it

Check which scheme the electronic address belongs to, then set schemeID on the corresponding ram:URIID to that scheme's accepted code. For example, EM identifies email and 0088 identifies a GLN. Keep any leading zeroes, export the invoice again and recheck it.
