Error

FX-SCH-A-000926: Use a permitted scheme for the payee's electronic address

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000926 means a non-empty schemeID value on the payee's electronic address is not in the Extended profile's permitted list. Replace it with a listed code that matches the address.

On this page

What it means

The scheme value on ram:PayeeTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication/ram:URIID must either be empty or appear in code list 13 in FACTUR-X_EXTENDED_codedb.xml. FX-SCH-A-000925 separately requires the attribute to exist; it does not require a non-empty value.

Why it matters

The Extended profile restricts non-empty electronic address scheme values to its code list.

How to fix it

Check which scheme your payee's electronic address uses. Replace schemeID on ram:PayeeTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication/ram:URIID with the matching code from the profile's permitted list. If your software writes an unlisted code, ask its supplier to correct the export. Check the corrected file again.
