What it means
For the payee (BG-10), a non-empty schemeID on ram:PayeeTradeParty/ram:GlobalID must match the profile's allowed identifier scheme list. A missing or empty schemeID does not fail this rule. The check does not examine the identifier itself.
Why it matters
The scheme identifies the numbering system behind the global identifier, allowing software to distinguish identifiers from different systems.
How to fix it
Correct schemeID on ram:PayeeTradeParty/ram:GlobalID using the profile's allowed list. For example, 0088 identifies a GLN and 0060 identifies a DUNS number. Match the scheme to the existing identifier rather than choosing an arbitrary four-digit code. Regenerate and recheck your file.
