FX-SCH-A-000811: Add a scheme attribute to the ship-from tax number

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000811 means schemeID is missing from your ship-from tax registration's ram:ID element. Add the attribute to ram:ShipFromTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration/ram:ID and set it to the appropriate registration scheme.

What it means

Each ram:ID inside ram:ShipFromTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration must have a schemeID attribute. This rule checks only that the attribute exists. An empty attribute passes this presence test.

Why it matters

The scheme attribute is where you identify the tax registration scheme. This rule requires that attribute but does not check its value.

How to fix it

Check the type of tax registration number you are reporting for your ship-from party. Add schemeID to its ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration/ram:ID and enter the appropriate scheme code. Export and recheck your file.
