FX-SCH-A-001116: Unsupported global identifier scheme for the final recipient

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-001116 means the non-empty scheme code on your invoice line's final recipient global identifier is not in the Extended profile's list. Correct schemeID on ram:GlobalID to match the identifier's numbering system.

What it means

For ram:GlobalID under the line's ram:SpecifiedLineTradeDelivery/ram:UltimateShipToTradeParty, the checked schemeID value must be empty or match code list 11 in FACTUR-X_EXTENDED_codedb.xml. FX-SCH-A-001115 separately requires the attribute to be present.

Why it matters

The Extended profile uses a defined list of identifier schemes. A non-empty code outside that list fails this check, regardless of whether another system recognises it.

How to fix it

Identify the numbering system behind your final recipient's global identifier. Use its listed four-digit ISO 6523 code, such as 0088 for a GLN or 0060 for a DUNS number. Correct schemeID on the relevant ram:GlobalID, preserving leading zeroes, then export and recheck.
