What it means
A manufacturer on an invoice line can have tax registrations (ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration). An entry whose ID is marked VA holds a VAT number. 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 VA.
How to fix it
Check the manufacturer's VAT number on the product or line and keep one ram:ID in the VA tax registration entry. If you need to give a second number, it goes into its own tax registration entry. In the XML, each ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration containing an ID marked VA holds a single ram:ID.
