What it means
Each ram:PostalTradeAddress directly under ram:PayerTradeParty may contain zero or one direct ram:CountrySubDivisionName child. Repeated elements fail the count even when their text is identical.
Why it matters
The Extended profile allows only one region element within each payer postal address.
How to fix it
Check the region, state or province in the payer's postal address. In ram:PayerTradeParty/ram:PostalTradeAddress, keep at most one ram:CountrySubDivisionName and remove additional copies. You can omit the element if you do not need it. Check the corrected file again.
