FX-SCH-A-000852: The final recipient's electronic address scheme is not allowed

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000852 means the schemeID on your final delivery recipient's electronic address is outside the Extended profile's allowed list. Replace it with the allowed code that matches the address, such as EM for email or 0088 for a GLN.

What it means

Checks a non-empty schemeID on ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication/ram:URIID against electronic address scheme list 13. An absent or empty attribute passes this value test. FX-SCH-A-000851 separately checks that the attribute exists.

Why it matters

A recognised scheme code identifies the addressing system used by the electronic address.

How to fix it

Correct schemeID on the affected ram:URIID. Examples include EM for email, 0088 for a GLN, 0106 for a Dutch KvK number and 0204 for a Leitweg-ID. Use the code matching the actual address, not a label such as email or mail. Export the corrected invoice and check it again.
