What it means
The ram:ID in ram:PayerTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration must have a schemeID attribute. This rule checks only that the attribute exists. An empty attribute also passes this presence test.
Why it matters
The scheme identifies what kind of tax registration number the payer has supplied.
How to fix it
On ram:PayerTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration/ram:ID, add schemeID with the appropriate scheme code, such as VA for a VAT number. Check any separate restrictions on scheme values in your profile. Export the corrected file and recheck it.
