What it means
This rule checks a non-empty schemeID on ram:InvoiceeTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:ID against the profile's allowed scheme codes. It does not flag a missing or empty attribute and does not check the registration number itself.
Why it matters
The scheme identifies how to interpret the registration identifier; it is separate from the identifier's value.
How to fix it
Correct schemeID on ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:InvoiceeTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:ID. Use an allowed code matching the identifier, such as 0009 for SIRET, 0060 for DUNS, 0088 for GLN or 0106 for a Dutch KvK number. If you are not supplying a scheme, omit the attribute rather than inventing a code. Export and recheck.
