FX-SCH-A-000699: Use an allowed scheme for the buyer's registration number

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000699 means the schemeID on your buyer's company registration number (BT-47) is not allowed by the Extended profile. Correct it to the listed scheme code that matches the number.

On this page

What it means

This rule checks schemeID on ram:BuyerTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:ID in the header trade agreement against code list 12. A missing or empty scheme value passes this check. The registration number itself is not checked here.

Why it matters

The scheme identifies the system associated with the company registration number. A non-empty code must come from the list defined for this field.

How to fix it

Check the scheme associated with the buyer's company registration number. Correct schemeID on ram:ID inside the buyer's ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization, for example 0106 for a Dutch KvK number or 0009 for a French SIRET. Use the scheme that matches your number. Recheck your corrected file.
