What it means
Checks that ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:PostalTradeAddress contains no more than one ram:CountrySubDivisionName. Having no region element passes this check.
Why it matters
Repeated region elements exceed the structure allowed for this organisation's postal address.
How to fix it
In the postal address under the final delivery recipient's ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization, 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.
