FX-SCH-A-000850: An electronic address entry needs one address field

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000850 means an electronic address entry for your final delivery recipient contains either no ram:URIID or more than one. Keep one address element in the entry, or remove the entry if it is not needed.

On this page

What it means

Counts ram:URIID elements in each ram:URIUniversalCommunication under ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty. It does not check whether the address text is empty, correctly formed or reachable.

Why it matters

Each communication entry has one structured field for its electronic address. Missing or repeated address elements do not match that structure.

How to fix it

Correct the affected ram:URIUniversalCommunication under the final delivery recipient. Put the intended electronic address in one ram:URIID and remove duplicate address elements. If the entry is not needed, remove it entirely. Export the corrected invoice and check it again.
