FX-SCH-A-001053: Each ID in a line seller's tax number registration needs a scheme

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-001053 means an additional ram:ID in your line seller's FC tax registration is missing its schemeID attribute. Keep one correctly marked tax number in that registration and remove or separately record the extra ID.

On this page

What it means

The rule checks every ram:ID inside a line seller's ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration that already contains an ID with schemeID="FC". It checks that each ID has a schemeID attribute, not whether the attribute's value is empty or correct.

Why it matters

The scheme identifies the kind of tax identifier. The FC-marked ID already has this attribute, so this failure concerns another ID in the same registration.

How to fix it

Keep the tax number in one ram:ID with schemeID="FC". Remove duplicate IDs or put a genuinely separate identifier in its own appropriate registration, using VA for a VAT number. Adding an attribute to an extra ID alone leaves the separate one-ID requirement in FX-SCH-A-001052 unresolved. Export the corrected file and check it again.
