What it means
This rule counts direct ram:CountrySubDivisionName children of ram:ShipToTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:PostalTradeAddress in the header delivery section. Zero or one is allowed; two or more fail the check.
Why it matters
The Extended profile allows a single region-name field in this address block. Repeating that field exceeds the permitted number of elements.
How to fix it
Check the region, state or province in the delivery party's legal organisation address. Keep the appropriate value in one ram:CountrySubDivisionName under ram:ShipToTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:PostalTradeAddress and remove any extra occurrences. You can omit the field if you do not need it. Export and recheck.
