What it means
Counts ram:ID elements in each ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration under ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty. One empty ram:ID still satisfies this count check; the identifier's content is not checked here.
Why it matters
Each tax registration has one identifier field. Missing or repeated identifier elements do not match that structure.
How to fix it
Find the affected ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration under the final delivery recipient. Add its intended VAT number or tax number in one ram:ID, or remove duplicate identifier elements. If the registration is not needed, remove the whole registration rather than leaving it without an identifier. Export the corrected invoice and check it again.
