FX-SCH-A-000677: Email address for the tax representative's contact

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000677 requires exactly one ram:URIID element in each email block for a contact at the buyer's tax representative. Add the missing email address element or remove duplicate elements within that block.

On this page

What it means

The check counts ram:URIID elements directly inside ram:BuyerTaxRepresentativeTradeParty/ram:DefinedTradeContact/ram:EmailURIUniversalCommunication. Each email block that is present must contain one such element. The test does not check whether the address itself works.

Why it matters

An email block must contain one address element to follow the Extended profile's structure.

How to fix it

Check the email details of the contact at the buyer's tax representative. Within ram:EmailURIUniversalCommunication, keep one ram:URIID containing the intended email address. If you are not supplying email details, omit the optional email block rather than leaving it empty. Export the invoice again and recheck it.
