What it means
Within each ram:ItemSellerTradeParty under a line's ram:SpecifiedLineTradeAgreement, the Extended profile allows zero or one ram:RoleCode element. This rule counts role code elements; it does not check their values.
Why it matters
The line-level seller structure provides space for one optional role code. Repeating the element does not meet that structure, even if the codes are identical.
How to fix it
Check the seller details attached to the affected line. In ram:ItemSellerTradeParty, remove extra ram:RoleCode elements, leaving at most one appropriate code. Leave the invoice-level seller (BG-4) unchanged. Export again and recheck the file.
