What it means
Each ram:PostalTradeAddress under ram:PayerTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization 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 the postal address attached to the payer's company details.
How to fix it
Check the region, state or province in the address attached to the payer's company registration details. In ram:PayerTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/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.
