What it means
In the Extended profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, each ram:TelephoneUniversalCommunication under the tax representative's ram:DefinedTradeContact must contain one ram:CompleteNumber element. This rule counts elements, not the contents of the telephone number.
Why it matters
The profile defines one number element for each telephone block. Missing or repeated elements do not match that structure.
How to fix it
Check the telephone details under ram:SellerTaxRepresentativeTradeParty/ram:DefinedTradeContact. Keep one ram:CompleteNumber containing the intended telephone number in each ram:TelephoneUniversalCommunication. If you omit the telephone details, remove the whole block rather than just clearing its contents. Export the file again and recheck it.
