What it means
Under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery, each ram:ShipToTradeParty may contain zero or one ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration element. The test counts registration blocks and does not select a preferred type of tax number.
Why it matters
The EXTENDED profile provides one optional tax registration block for the delivery party. This limit does not favour a VAT number over a national tax number.
How to fix it
Check which tax registration is relevant to your delivery party's details. Keep that registration in one ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration inside ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:ShipToTradeParty and remove the other registration blocks. Export and recheck your file.
