FX-SCH-A-000712: Use at most one end user tax registration block

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000712 means a product end user block in your invoice contains more than one ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration. Keep at most one appropriate tax registration in that block.

On this page

What it means

Each ram:ProductEndUserTradeParty under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeAgreement may contain zero or one direct ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration child. This rule counts registration blocks rather than checking their identifiers.

Why it matters

The Extended profile allows at most one tax registration block for each product end user.

How to fix it

Check which tax registration belongs in your product end user details. In your CII XML, remove additional ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration blocks directly inside ram:ProductEndUserTradeParty, retaining the appropriate registration and its scheme. Export the corrected file and recheck it.
