What it means
In the Extended profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, each ram:PostalTradeAddress under ram:SalesAgentTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization may contain zero or one ram:CountrySubDivisionName element. The rule counts elements, even if repeated elements contain the same text.
Why it matters
The legal organisation's address has one optional country subdivision field in this profile. Repeating that field exceeds the permitted structure.
How to fix it
Check the region data for your sales agent's legal organisation address and how it is exported. Make sure ram:SalesAgentTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:PostalTradeAddress contains at most one ram:CountrySubDivisionName. Keep the appropriate value once, or omit the element if you do not need it. Recheck the corrected file.
