FX-SCH-A-000821: Use an allowed delivery party identifier scheme

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000821 means the non-empty schemeID on your delivery party's global identifier is not in the EXTENDED profile's allowed list. Correct schemeID on ram:ShipToTradeParty/ram:GlobalID using the permitted code for that identifier type.

What it means

A non-empty schemeID on ram:ShipToTradeParty/ram:GlobalID must match code list 11 in FACTUR-X_EXTENDED_codedb.xml. An empty code value passes this test.

Why it matters

The scheme identifies the system used for your delivery party's global identifier. The profile restricts non-empty scheme codes to its specified list.

How to fix it

Check which identification system your delivery party's global identifier uses. Set schemeID on ram:ShipToTradeParty/ram:GlobalID to the matching code from the EXTENDED profile's list. Export your invoice again and recheck the file.
