Error

FX-SCH-A-001017: A line document reference can have at most one name

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-001017 means an additional document reference on your invoice line contains more than one ram:Name element. Keep one name, combine the text into a single element, or omit the optional name.

What it means

This rule allows zero or one ram:Name child in each ram:AdditionalReferencedDocument under a line's ram:SpecifiedLineTradeAgreement. It counts name elements within each reference, not names elsewhere on the line.

Why it matters

The Extended profile provides one optional name field for each additional document reference.

How to fix it

Find the affected document reference and combine any name text you need to retain into one ram:Name. Remove the extra elements, or remove all ram:Name elements if the reference does not need a name. Export and recheck.
