What it means
This rule checks a non-empty format value on ram:DeliveryNoteReferencedDocument/ram:FormattedIssueDateTime/qdt:DateTimeString against the permitted date format codes. An empty value passes this particular test, and attribute presence is checked separately.
Why it matters
The format code identifies how the delivery note date is written. The Extended profile restricts the non-empty codes you can use.
How to fix it
Correct format on ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:DeliveryNoteReferencedDocument/ram:FormattedIssueDateTime/qdt:DateTimeString. For YYYYMMDD date text, use format="102", not the pattern YYYYMMDD as the attribute value. Export your invoice again and recheck it.
