FX-SCH-A-001119: Unsupported country code in the final recipient's address

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-001119 means the non-empty country code in your invoice line's final recipient address is not in the Extended profile's list. Correct ram:CountryID to the listed code for that address's country.

What it means

For ram:CountryID in the final recipient's ram:PostalTradeAddress, the checked value must be empty or match code list 10 in FACTUR-X_EXTENDED_codedb.xml. FX-SCH-A-001117 separately requires exactly one country element within the address.

Why it matters

The Extended profile uses a defined country-code list so the country is represented by a code rather than a country name or another coding system.

How to fix it

Check the country of the final recipient's postal address on the affected line. Use its allowed two-letter country code, such as DE, FR, NL or BE. For Germany, replace Germany or DEU with DE in ram:CountryID. Export and recheck.
