FX-SCH-A-000801: The ship-from party's global ID needs a scheme attribute

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000801 means a ram:GlobalID for your ship-from party is missing its schemeID attribute. Add the attribute to identify the numbering scheme used for that global identifier.

On this page

What it means

Each ram:GlobalID directly under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:ShipFromTradeParty must have a schemeID attribute. This rule checks only that the attribute exists; an empty attribute also passes this particular test.

Why it matters

The schemeID attribute records which numbering scheme the global identifier uses. The Extended profile requires the attribute on each ship-from global identifier.

How to fix it

Add schemeID to ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:ShipFromTradeParty/ram:GlobalID. For a GLN, write schemeID="0088". For another identifier type, use its matching scheme code. Export your invoice again and recheck it.
