What it means
In the postal address of the end user's legal organisation, 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 means the file breaks the profile, so a strict check fails it.
How to fix it
Check the end user's company address in your invoicing software and enter the region once. If you build the XML yourself, keep one ram:CountrySubDivisionName in ram:PostalTradeAddress under ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization of ram:ProductEndUserTradeParty, and delete the extra.
