What it means
For each ram:PayeeTradeParty inside ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms, this rule counts ram:ID elements. Zero or one is allowed. It does not count other identifier elements, such as ram:GlobalID.
Why it matters
The Extended profile represents this payee identifier as one optional field, rather than a list.
How to fix it
Check the payee identifier in your payment terms. In ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms/ram:PayeeTradeParty, keep the correct ram:ID and remove repeated ram:ID elements. If you do not need this identifier, omit ram:ID rather than removing the payee's other details. Export the corrected file and check it again.
