FX-SCH-A-001003: Each payee address entry needs one address element

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-001003 means an electronic address entry for the payee in your payment terms contains no ram:URIID element or more than one. Give that entry exactly one ram:URIID, or remove the whole entry if you do not need it.

What it means

For each ram:URIUniversalCommunication under ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms/ram:PayeeTradeParty, this rule counts ram:URIID children. Exactly one must be present. The rule does not check whether its text contains a usable address.

Why it matters

The Extended profile represents the address in each electronic communication entry with a single ram:URIID element.

How to fix it

Find the affected payee address entry in your payment terms. Add the intended address in one ram:URIID if that element is missing, or remove duplicate ram:URIID elements while retaining the correct address. Remove an unused entry as a whole, then export and recheck.
