What it means
A manufacturer on an invoice line can have tax registrations (ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration). An entry whose ID is marked FC holds a tax number, the national tax identifier that is not the VAT number, such as a German Steuernummer. That entry must contain exactly one ram:ID.
Why it matters
Factur-X 1.09 EXTENDED and ZUGFeRD 2.5 EXTENDED require exactly one ram:ID in a manufacturer's tax registration entry containing an ID marked FC.
How to fix it
Check the manufacturer's tax number on the product or line and keep one ram:ID in the FC tax registration entry. If you need to give two different numbers, each goes into its own tax registration entry. In the XML, each ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration containing an ID marked FC holds a single ram:ID.
