FX-SCH-A-000834: Keep at most one electronic-address block for the final delivery party

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000834 means the final delivery party, ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty, contains more than one ram:URIUniversalCommunication block. Keep no more than one such block.

On this page

What it means

This rule counts direct ram:URIUniversalCommunication children of ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty in the header delivery section. Zero or one is allowed. It does not count email blocks within the party's contact details or check the contents of the remaining communication block.

Why it matters

The Extended profile allows one electronic-address block at this position. Repeating that block does not match the permitted structure.

How to fix it

Check the electronic address recorded directly for the final delivery party. In ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty, keep the ram:URIUniversalCommunication block containing the appropriate address and remove extra blocks. Do not remove contact email fields to address this rule. Export and recheck.
