What it means
The contact of the invoicee, the party the invoice is sent to when that is not the buyer, can have an email address. If the email element is present, it must hold exactly one address (ram:URIID). An empty email element and an element with two addresses both fail.
Why it matters
The recipient's software reads the address from this one place. If it is missing or doubled, it cannot tell which address to use, so the file fails the check and may be rejected.
How to fix it
Check the contact on the invoice address in your invoicing software. It should have one email address, and an empty email field should be removed. If you build the XML yourself, the address goes in ram:URIID inside ram:EmailURIUniversalCommunication inside ram:DefinedTradeContact, exactly once.
