FX-SCH-A-000692: The tax representative's electronic address needs a scheme attribute

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000692 means schemeID is missing from your buyer's tax representative's electronic address identifier. Add the attribute to ram:URIID with the scheme code that matches the address.

What it means

For ram:URIID inside ram:BuyerTaxRepresentativeTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication, this rule checks that schemeID exists. An empty attribute passes this presence check. Allowed scheme values are checked separately by FX-SCH-A-000693.

Why it matters

The scheme attribute identifies how the electronic address is represented. This rule requires the attribute but does not determine whether its value or the address is usable.

How to fix it

Add schemeID to the relevant ram:URIID, for example schemeID="EM" for an email address. For a Peppol ID, use the code for its actual identification scheme, not the word Peppol. Recheck your corrected file.
