Error

FX-SCH-A-000760: The tax representative's contact email needs one address element

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000760 means an email block for the seller's tax representative's contact contains either no ram:URIID element or more than one. Put the contact's email address in exactly one ram:URIID, or remove the email block if you do not need it, then recheck your file.

What it means

In the Extended profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, each ram:EmailURIUniversalCommunication under ram:SellerTaxRepresentativeTradeParty/ram:DefinedTradeContact must contain exactly one ram:URIID child. This rule counts elements; it does not check whether their text is present or is a correctly formatted email address.

Why it matters

The contact email block has one field for the email address. A missing or repeated address element does not meet the profile's structure.

How to fix it

Check the contact email for your seller's tax representative. In ram:SellerTaxRepresentativeTradeParty/ram:DefinedTradeContact/ram:EmailURIUniversalCommunication, add the missing ram:URIID or remove duplicates, keeping the intended email address in one element. If you are omitting the email address, remove the whole email block rather than leaving it without ram:URIID. Recheck the corrected file.
