What it means
In the end user's postal address, the country subdivision (ram:CountrySubDivisionName) is the region, state or county. It is optional, but it may appear at most once.
Why it matters
The Extended profile allows one region per address. A second one makes the file break the profile, so a strict check fails it.
How to fix it
Open the end user's address in your invoicing software and check that the region is entered once, not in two fields. If you build the XML yourself, keep one ram:CountrySubDivisionName in ram:PostalTradeAddress of ram:ProductEndUserTradeParty and delete the extra.
