What it means
In the Extended profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, each ram:PostalTradeAddress directly under ram:SalesAgentTradeParty may contain zero or one ram:CountrySubDivisionName element. The rule counts elements, not distinct region names.
Why it matters
The profile provides one optional country subdivision field in this address. Repeating the element exceeds that limit, even when the values are identical.
How to fix it
Check the state, province or region data for your sales agent's postal address and how it is exported. Make sure ram:SalesAgentTradeParty/ram:PostalTradeAddress contains at most one ram:CountrySubDivisionName. Keep the appropriate value once, or remove the element if you do not need it. Recheck the corrected file.
