What it means

Each ram:URIUniversalCommunication inside ram:ManufacturerTradeParty on an invoice line must contain exactly one ram:URIID. This rule counts elements; it does not check whether the address value is empty.

Why it matters

Factur-X 1.09 EXTENDED and ZUGFeRD 2.5 EXTENDED require exactly one ram:URIID in each manufacturer ram:URIUniversalCommunication group on an invoice line.

How to fix it

Open the manufacturer details of the product or line. In the XML, ram:URIUniversalCommunication in ram:ManufacturerTradeParty must contain a single ram:URIID. Add the element if it is missing, or remove any duplicates.
