What it means
The check requires a schemeID attribute on each ram:GlobalID directly inside ram:BuyerTaxRepresentativeTradeParty in the header trade agreement. It checks only whether the attribute exists. FX-SCH-A-000681 separately checks non-empty scheme values against the accepted list.
Why it matters
The scheme identifies the numbering system used for the global identifier.
How to fix it
Check which scheme the representative's global identifier belongs to. Add schemeID to the corresponding ram:GlobalID using the matching code from the Extended profile's identifier scheme list, such as 0088 for a GLN or 0060 for a DUNS number. Keep any leading zeroes, export the invoice again and recheck it.
