What it means
This rule selects ram:AppliedTradeAllowanceCharge entries under ram:GrossPriceProductTradePrice where ram:ChargeIndicator/udt:Indicator has the text true. Each selected entry must contain exactly one ram:ChargeIndicator. An entry without an indicator is not selected, so this rule detects repeated indicator elements rather than missing ones.
Why it matters
The Extended profile requires one charge indicator element in each selected entry. Multiple elements break that structure even when they all contain the same value.
How to fix it
In the affected line's ram:GrossPriceProductTradePrice, find the ram:AppliedTradeAllowanceCharge marked as a charge. Keep one ram:ChargeIndicator containing udt:Indicator with the text true and remove the extra ram:ChargeIndicator elements. Export again and recheck the file.
