FX-SCH-A-000730: A quotation reference needs the quotation number

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000730 means the reference to a quotation has no quotation number, or more than one. Put exactly one quotation number in it, or remove the reference.

What it means

An invoice in the Extended profile can refer to the quotation (offer) it is based on (ram:QuotationReferencedDocument). That reference must contain exactly one quotation number (ram:IssuerAssignedID).

Why it matters

A reference with no number points to nothing, and one with two numbers is ambiguous. The Extended profile does not allow either, so a strict check fails the file.

How to fix it

Check the quotation reference field in your invoicing software. Enter the quotation number once, or clear the field if the invoice is not based on a quotation. If you build the XML yourself, put one ram:IssuerAssignedID inside ram:QuotationReferencedDocument under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeAgreement.
