FX-SCH-A-000775: Keep one number in the seller's fax block

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000775 means a fax block in the seller's contact details contains no ram:CompleteNumber element or contains more than one. Keep exactly one, or remove the whole fax block if you do not need it.

What it means

Each ram:FaxUniversalCommunication under ram:SellerTradeParty/ram:DefinedTradeContact must contain one ram:CompleteNumber element in the Extended profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD. The rule counts elements without checking the fax number's contents.

Why it matters

The profile gives each fax block one number element. A block with missing or repeated number elements does not match that structure.

How to fix it

Check the fax details for the seller's contact. Keep one ram:CompleteNumber containing the intended fax number in each ram:FaxUniversalCommunication. If you omit the fax details, remove the whole block rather than only clearing the number. Export the file again and recheck it.
