What it means
A non-empty format attribute on the contract reference's qdt:DateTimeString must match the profile's date format code list. An absent or empty attribute does not fail this value check. The date text itself is not tested here.
Why it matters
The format code identifies how to interpret the referenced contract date.
How to fix it
Correct format on ram:ContractReferencedDocument/ram:FormattedIssueDateTime/qdt:DateTimeString under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeAgreement in your CII XML. If you use 102, write the date as YYYYMMDD. Export the corrected file and recheck it.
