What it means
In the Extended profile of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, ram:URIID under ram:ProductEndUserTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication must have a schemeID attribute. This rule checks attribute presence, not whether the code is allowed or the address is valid. An empty attribute passes this particular test.
Why it matters
The scheme identifies the address type or numbering system. The profile requires this information to be represented by an attribute on the address element.
How to fix it
Find the end user's ram:URIID inside ram:URIUniversalCommunication. Add schemeID with the code that matches the electronic address you are supplying, such as schemeID="EM" for an email address. Check the file again.
