What it means
In the Extended profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, ram:PostalTradeAddress under ram:SellerTaxRepresentativeTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization may contain zero or one ram:CountrySubDivisionName elements. Repeated elements fail even if they contain identical text.
Why it matters
The profile provides one optional place for a region name in this address. Repeating the element does not match that structure.
How to fix it
Check the region, state or county in the tax representative's separate registration address. In its ram:PostalTradeAddress, keep at most one ram:CountrySubDivisionName and remove the others. If you do not need a region entry, remove all occurrences of that element. Export the file again and recheck it.
