What it means
In the Extended profile of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, each ram:SalesAgentTradeParty under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeAgreement must contain exactly one ram:Name. This rule counts name elements; it does not check their text.
Why it matters
The profile requires a single name element for each sales agent you include. A missing or repeated name element does not meet that structural requirement.
How to fix it
Correct the sales agent's name in the data you export. In XML, add a missing ram:Name or remove repeated ram:Name elements directly inside ram:SalesAgentTradeParty. If you included a sales agent by mistake, remove that whole party block. Check the file again.
