Error

FX-SCH-A-001113: The final recipient's contact fax entry needs one number element

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-001113 means the contact fax entry for your invoice line's final recipient contains no ram:CompleteNumber element or contains more than one. Keep exactly one number element, or omit the whole fax entry if you do not need it.

What it means

For each ram:FaxUniversalCommunication under the final recipient's ram:DefinedTradeContact, the check requires one ram:CompleteNumber child. It counts elements, not whether their text contains a usable fax number.

Why it matters

The Extended profile structures each fax entry around one number element. An entry without that element, or with repeated number elements, does not meet this requirement.

How to fix it

Check ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty/ram:DefinedTradeContact/ram:FaxUniversalCommunication in the affected line's delivery details. Put the correct fax number in one ram:CompleteNumber and remove extra number elements. If no fax details are needed, remove the whole fax block. Export and recheck.
