On this page

What it means

Each ram:ProductEndUserTradeParty under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeAgreement may contain zero or one direct ram:URIUniversalCommunication child. This does not count email blocks inside ram:DefinedTradeContact.

Why it matters

The Extended profile allows at most one electronic address block directly within each product end user block.

How to fix it

In your CII XML, keep the intended ram:URIUniversalCommunication block directly inside ram:ProductEndUserTradeParty and remove additional blocks at that location. Do not remove the contact person's email block to fix this rule. Export the corrected file and recheck it.
