What it means
A manufacturer's postal address (ram:PostalTradeAddress) on an invoice line can include the name of a region, state, province or county (ram:CountrySubDivisionName). It may appear once at most. This rule counts those elements and fails when there are two or more.
Why it matters
The Extended profile allows one region name per address.
How to fix it
Open the manufacturer's address on the product or line and check the region or state field. Keep one ram:CountrySubDivisionName element and remove any duplicates. The region is optional, so you can also remove all ram:CountrySubDivisionName elements from this address.
