What it means
In the Extended profile of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, the postal address of the invoicee may hold at most one country subdivision name (ram:CountrySubDivisionName). That is a region, county, state or province. The file has two or more. The rule does not require one, so leaving it out is fine.
Why it matters
Software that reads the structured data expects one value in this place. With two it may reject the file or read only one of them, so the invoice fails the check.
How to fix it
Open the invoicee's address in your invoicing software and look at the region, county or state field. Sometimes two fields that both export to this element have been filled in. Keep one and clear the other, then export again. If the invoice does not need a separate invoicee, you can also leave the invoicee out.
