What it means
This rule counts ram:URIUniversalCommunication elements directly inside ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:InvoiceeTradeParty. Zero or one is allowed. It does not check the address text or whether delivery is possible.
Why it matters
The Extended profile represents the invoicee's electronic address in a single communication entry.
How to fix it
In ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:InvoiceeTradeParty, keep the ram:URIUniversalCommunication entry for the intended electronic address and remove repeated or unintended entries. If the entries contain different addresses, confirm which address belongs here before changing the file. Export and recheck.
