What it means
This checks the format attribute of udt:DateTimeString in ram:EndDateTime under the line's ram:SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement/ram:BillingSpecifiedPeriod. The line period is BG-26, with start date BT-134 and end date BT-135. An empty format value passes this check; a non-empty value must be on the profile's allowed list.
Why it matters
The format code tells software how to interpret the date text. The code and the way you write the date need to agree.
How to fix it
Correct the format attribute on this end date, not the start date or invoice date. For format="102", write the actual end date as eight digits in YYYYMMDD order, without separators. If your software generates the XML, have its export corrected, then export and recheck the file.
