What it means
In the Extended profile of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, ram:SalesAgentTradeParty under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeAgreement may contain zero or one ram:RoleCode. This rule counts the elements; it does not check which role code you use.
Why it matters
The profile sets a limit of one role-code element in this sales agent block. Additional role-code elements exceed that limit.
How to fix it
Check the sales agent's role in the data you export. In XML, remove extra ram:RoleCode elements directly inside ram:SalesAgentTradeParty, keeping the appropriate one if you need it. You can omit this optional element. Check the file again.
