What it means
Checks that ram:PostalTradeAddress directly under ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty contains no more than one ram:CountrySubDivisionName. Having no region element passes this check.
Why it matters
Repeated region elements exceed the address structure allowed by the Extended profile.
How to fix it
In ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty/ram:PostalTradeAddress, keep no more than one ram:CountrySubDivisionName. If you need both a state and a county, you can combine their names in that element. Export the corrected invoice and check it again.
