FX-SCH-A-000935: Add the scheme attribute to the payer's global identifier

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000935 means a payer global identifier is missing its schemeID attribute. Add the attribute to ram:GlobalID under ram:PayerTradeParty, using the scheme that matches the identifier.

On this page

What it means

Each ram:GlobalID directly inside ram:PayerTradeParty must have a schemeID attribute. This test checks attribute presence only, not whether its value is empty or correct. FX-SCH-A-000936 separately checks non-empty values against the permitted list.

Why it matters

The scheme identifies the numbering system used for the global identifier. The Extended profile requires this attribute on each payer global identifier.

How to fix it

Check the scheme associated with your payer's global identifier. Ensure ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:PayerTradeParty/ram:GlobalID includes the appropriate schemeID attribute. If your software omits it, ask its supplier to correct the export. Check the corrected file again.
