What it means
Within ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeAgreement/ram:BuyerTradeParty, this rule permits zero or one ram:RoleCode child element. It checks the number of role code elements, not their values.
Why it matters
The Extended profile allows one role code at this buyer location. Duplicate elements exceed that limit even if they contain identical codes.
How to fix it
Check ram:RoleCode directly inside ram:BuyerTradeParty in the header trade agreement. Keep the code that describes the buyer's role and remove extra elements, or omit the role code if you do not need it. Recheck your corrected file.
