What it means
This rule checks the non-empty value of ram:InvoiceeTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:PostalTradeAddress/ram:CountryID against the profile's country code list. It uses two-letter ISO 3166-1 codes such as DE, FR, NL and BE. An empty value is not flagged by this rule.
Why it matters
An agreed country code represents the country consistently in the address supplied with the company registration details.
How to fix it
Correct ram:CountryID in ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:InvoiceeTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:PostalTradeAddress. Use the accepted uppercase code for the actual country, such as FR. Check this registered address rather than changing the invoicee's main postal address. Export and recheck.
