What it means
Each ram:PayeeTradeParty inside ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms must contain one ram:Name element. This rule counts elements; it does not check whether the name is filled in or correct.
Why it matters
ram:Name is the required name field for the payee receiving payment under these terms.
How to fix it
Correct the payee name in your payment terms. In ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms/ram:PayeeTradeParty, add ram:Name if it is missing. If it is repeated, check which name is correct and keep one ram:Name containing that name. Export the corrected file and check it again.
