FX-SCH-A-000895: The invoicer's global identifier needs an allowed scheme code

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000895 means a non-empty scheme code on the invoicer's global identifier is not in the Extended profile's allowed list. Replace schemeID on ram:InvoicerTradeParty/ram:GlobalID with an allowed code that matches the identifier.

What it means

The test compares a non-empty global identifier scheme code with code list 11 in FACTUR-X_EXTENDED_codedb.xml. An empty code value passes this test. The test does not itself require the schemeID attribute or check the identifier's value.

Why it matters

The profile uses a defined list to identify the numbering scheme associated with a global identifier.

How to fix it

Correct schemeID on ram:InvoicerTradeParty/ram:GlobalID using the profile's allowed list. Choose the code for the actual identifier, such as 0088 for a GLN or 0060 for a DUNS number. If you cannot edit the scheme in your software, ask its supplier to correct the export. Export the corrected file and check it again.
