What it means
Each ram:FaxUniversalCommunication under ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms/ram:PayeeTradeParty/ram:DefinedTradeContact must contain one ram:CompleteNumber element. This rule counts elements; it does not check whether the number is filled in or valid.
Why it matters
ram:CompleteNumber is where the fax block holds its full number, and the block requires one such element.
How to fix it
Check the payee contact's fax block under ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms/ram:PayeeTradeParty/ram:DefinedTradeContact. Keep one ram:CompleteNumber containing the correct fax number inside ram:FaxUniversalCommunication. If you are not providing a fax number, omit that block. Export the corrected file and check it again.
