FX-SCH-A-001115: The final recipient's global identifier needs a scheme

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-001115 means a ram:GlobalID for your invoice line's final recipient is missing its schemeID attribute. Add the code identifying the numbering system, such as 0088 for a GLN.

What it means

Each ram:GlobalID under the line's ram:SpecifiedLineTradeDelivery/ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty must have a schemeID attribute. This check tests only whether the attribute exists; an empty attribute also satisfies this particular test.

Why it matters

The scheme identifies the numbering system used by the global identifier. The Extended profile requires the attribute alongside this identifier.

How to fix it

Find the final recipient's ram:GlobalID in the affected line. Set schemeID to the code for the identifier's actual numbering system, for example schemeID="0088" for a GLN. If you do not need the global identifier, remove that ram:GlobalID element. Export and recheck.
