FX-SCH-A-000830: The delivery party's electronic address needs a scheme

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000830 means the delivery party's electronic address in ram:URIUniversalCommunication/ram:URIID has no schemeID attribute. Add the attribute with the code for the address's scheme, such as EM for an email address.

What it means

Each ram:URIID under ram:ShipToTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication in the header delivery section must have a schemeID attribute. This rule checks attribute presence only, not whether the value is empty or uses an allowed code.

Why it matters

The scheme identifies the type or identification system of the electronic address. The Extended profile requires this information as an attribute on ram:URIID.

How to fix it

Identify the scheme used by the delivery party's electronic address. Add the matching schemeID to ram:ShipToTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication/ram:URIID, for example schemeID="EM" for an email address or schemeID="0088" for a GLN. Export and recheck.
