FX-SCH-A-000885: The invoicee's electronic address scheme must use an allowed code

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000885 means a non-empty scheme code on the invoicee's electronic address is not in the Extended profile's allowed list. Replace the schemeID value on ram:URIID with an allowed code that matches the address.

What it means

The test compares a non-empty electronic address scheme code with code list 13 in FACTUR-X_EXTENDED_codedb.xml. An empty code value passes this test. FX-SCH-A-000884 checks whether the schemeID attribute exists, but does not reject an empty value.

Why it matters

The profile uses a defined list to give electronic address schemes consistent meanings.

How to fix it

Correct schemeID on ram:InvoiceeTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication/ram:URIID. Choose a code from the profile's electronic address scheme list that matches the actual address, such as EM for an email address or 0088 for a GLN. Export the corrected file and check it again.
