In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000925 means the payee's electronic address is missing its schemeID attribute. Add the attribute to ram:URIID under ram:PayeeTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication, using the scheme that matches the address.

What it means

Each payee electronic address element, ram:URIUniversalCommunication/ram:URIID, must have a schemeID attribute. This test checks attribute presence only. FX-SCH-A-000926 separately checks non-empty scheme values against the permitted list.

Why it matters

The scheme identifies the electronic address system. The Extended profile requires the attribute even though this particular test does not examine its value.

How to fix it

Check the scheme associated with the payee's electronic address. Ensure your export includes schemeID on ram:PayeeTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication/ram:URIID. Use the scheme appropriate to that address. If your software omits the attribute, ask its supplier to correct the export, then check the corrected file again.
