FX-SCH-A-000936: Use a permitted scheme for the payer's global identifier

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000936 means a non-empty schemeID value on a payer global identifier is not in the Extended profile's permitted list. Replace it with a listed code that matches the identifier's numbering scheme.

On this page

What it means

The scheme value on ram:PayerTradeParty/ram:GlobalID must either be empty or appear in code list 11 in FACTUR-X_EXTENDED_codedb.xml. FX-SCH-A-000935 separately requires the attribute to exist; it does not require a non-empty value.

Why it matters

The Extended profile restricts non-empty global identifier scheme values to its code list. A code's format alone does not establish that it is listed.

How to fix it

Identify the numbering scheme used for your payer's global identifier. Set schemeID on ram:PayerTradeParty/ram:GlobalID to the matching code from the profile's permitted list. If your software generates an unlisted code, ask its supplier to correct the export. Check the corrected file again.
