FX-SCH-A-001156: A manufacturer can have at most one electronic address entry

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-001156 means a manufacturer entry on an invoice line contains more than one ram:URIUniversalCommunication block. Keep at most one such block in that manufacturer entry.

On this page

What it means

The rule counts direct ram:URIUniversalCommunication children of each ram:ManufacturerTradeParty under the line's ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct. Zero or one passes; two or more fail. It does not check the block's contents or count contact email blocks under ram:DefinedTradeContact.

Why it matters

The manufacturer entry has one optional URI communication block. Communication details within a contact are separate fields.

How to fix it

Check ram:URIUniversalCommunication directly inside the affected ram:ManufacturerTradeParty. Keep the intended block and remove any additional copies. If no electronic address entry is needed, you can omit it. Save or export the corrected file and check it again.
