What it means
In Factur-X and ZUGFeRD Extended, each ram:PostalTradeAddress under the line's ram:ItemSellerTradeParty may contain zero or one ram:CountrySubDivisionName. Repeated elements fail this test even if they contain identical text.
Why it matters
This address structure provides a single optional field for a region, state or province.
How to fix it
Find ram:CountrySubDivisionName in the affected line seller's ram:PostalTradeAddress. Keep the one containing the appropriate region and remove the others, or remove all of them if the region is not needed. Export the corrected file and check it again.
