FX-SCH-A-000818: The delivery contact's email needs one address element

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000818 means an email block for your delivery contact contains no ram:URIID element or more than one. Put exactly one ram:URIID in that ram:EmailURIUniversalCommunication block for the contact's email address.

On this page

What it means

Each ram:EmailURIUniversalCommunication inside ram:ShipToTradeParty/ram:DefinedTradeContact must contain exactly one ram:URIID. This rule does not check whether its text is non-empty or a valid email address.

Why it matters

The EXTENDED profile represents each contact email entry with one address element.

How to fix it

Check your delivery contact's email address. In ram:ShipToTradeParty/ram:DefinedTradeContact/ram:EmailURIUniversalCommunication, add the missing ram:URIID with that address or remove extra ram:URIID elements. Export and recheck your file.
