Error

FX-SCH-A-001055: Each ID in a line seller's VAT registration needs a scheme

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-001055 means an additional ram:ID in your line seller's VA tax registration is missing its schemeID attribute. Keep the VAT number in one ram:ID with schemeID="VA" and remove or separately record the extra ID.

What it means

The rule checks every ram:ID inside a line seller's ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration that already contains an ID with schemeID="VA". It checks for the presence of schemeID on each ID. A lone ID without that attribute would not select the registration for this rule.

Why it matters

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

How to fix it

Keep one ram:ID with schemeID="VA" in the affected registration. Remove duplicates or move a separate tax number to its own ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration with schemeID="FC" on its ram:ID. Adding an attribute alone does not resolve the one-ID requirement in FX-SCH-A-001054. Export the corrected file and check it again.
