FX-SCH-A-000714: Put one number field in each end user contact fax block

In short

FX-SCH-A-000714 means a fax block for your product end user's contact has no ram:CompleteNumber element or has more than one. Include one ram:CompleteNumber containing the contact's fax number.

On this page

What it means

Each ram:FaxUniversalCommunication inside ram:DefinedTradeContact of ram:ProductEndUserTradeParty must contain exactly one direct ram:CompleteNumber child. This rule does not check whether the number text is empty or correctly formatted.

Why it matters

The Extended profile requires one number field within each of these contact fax blocks.

How to fix it

In your CII XML, check ram:FaxUniversalCommunication inside the product end user's ram:DefinedTradeContact. Add the missing ram:CompleteNumber with the contact's fax number, or remove extra number elements while keeping the correct one. Export the corrected file and recheck it.
