FX-SCH-A-001160: The manufacturer's global identifier needs a scheme

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-001160 means ram:GlobalID in a line's manufacturer entry is missing its schemeID attribute. Add the attribute with the code for the identifier's actual numbering system.

On this page

What it means

For each ram:GlobalID in ram:ManufacturerTradeParty under the line's ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct, the rule checks that schemeID exists. It does not check whether that attribute is empty or contains an allowed code.

Why it matters

The scheme identifies the numbering system used for the manufacturer's global identifier.

How to fix it

Check which numbering system the manufacturer's identifier uses. Add schemeID to the affected ram:GlobalID, using the appropriate allowed four-digit ISO 6523 code, such as 0088 for a GLN or 0060 for a DUNS number. If the identifier was included by mistake, remove that ram:GlobalID instead. Save or export the corrected file and check it again.
