FX-SCH-A-001154: A manufacturer can have at most one role code

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-001154 means a manufacturer entry on an invoice line contains more than one ram:RoleCode element. Keep at most one role-code element in that manufacturer entry.

On this page

What it means

The rule counts ram:RoleCode elements in each ram:ManufacturerTradeParty under the line's ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct. Zero or one passes this check; two or more fail. It does not check the role-code value.

Why it matters

The Extended profile provides one optional role-code field for each manufacturer entry.

How to fix it

In the affected ram:ManufacturerTradeParty, keep the appropriate ram:RoleCode and remove any additional role-code elements. If you do not need to supply a role code, you can omit it. Save or export the corrected file and check it again.
