FX-SCH-A-000773: Use an allowed electronic address scheme

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000773 means a non-empty schemeID on the seller's tax representative's electronic address is not allowed by the profile. Replace it with the code matching that address type, such as EM for email.

What it means

This rule checks a non-empty scheme value on ram:URIID inside ram:SellerTaxRepresentativeTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication against the profile's electronic address scheme list. An empty string passes this test. FX-SCH-A-000772 separately requires the attribute to exist.

Why it matters

The scheme identifies the type of electronic address. The profile defines which scheme codes you can use in this field.

How to fix it

Check whether the tax representative's electronic address is an email address or another supported address type. Correct schemeID on its ram:URIID using the matching allowed code, such as EM for email. This change does not check the address itself. Export the file again and recheck it.
