FX-SCH-A-000992: Payee global identifier needs a scheme attribute

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000992 means a ram:GlobalID for the payee in your payment terms is missing its schemeID attribute. Add the attribute with the appropriate identification scheme code, such as 0088 for a GLN.

What it means

This rule checks that schemeID exists on each ram:GlobalID under ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms/ram:PayeeTradeParty. It does not check whether the attribute has a value. FX-SCH-A-000993 separately checks non-empty scheme values against the allowed list.

Why it matters

The scheme identifies the system used for the global identifier, separately from the identifier itself.

How to fix it

Find the affected ram:GlobalID inside ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms/ram:PayeeTradeParty. Add schemeID with the code for the identifier's actual scheme, for example 0088 for a GLN, 0060 for a DUNS number or 0009 for a French SIRET. Confirm the scheme rather than guessing. Export the corrected file and check it again.
