FX-SCH-A-000993: Use an allowed payee global identifier scheme

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000993 means the schemeID on a payee global identifier in your payment terms contains a code outside the profile's allowed list. Replace it with an allowed code matching the identifier's actual scheme.

What it means

This rule checks non-empty schemeID values on ram:GlobalID under ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms/ram:PayeeTradeParty against the profile's scheme-code list. An empty value is not rejected by this test. FX-SCH-A-000992 separately requires the attribute to exist.

Why it matters

The scheme code identifies the system used for the identifier and must use a code recognised by this profile.

How to fix it

Check the scheme of the payee's global identifier, then correct schemeID on ram:GlobalID inside ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms/ram:PayeeTradeParty. Examples include 0088 for a GLN, 0060 for a DUNS number, 0106 for a Dutch KvK number and 0009 for a French SIRET. Use the code matching your identifier and check the corrected file again.
