What it means
Each qdt:DateTimeString inside ram:DespatchAdviceReferencedDocument/ram:FormattedIssueDateTime must have a format attribute. This rule checks only that the attribute exists, not its value or the date text.
Why it matters
The format attribute identifies how the referenced despatch advice date is written. The Extended profile requires this attribute whenever this date element is included.
How to fix it
Add format to ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:DespatchAdviceReferencedDocument/ram:FormattedIssueDateTime/qdt:DateTimeString. For a date written as YYYYMMDD, use format="102". Make sure the code and date text match, then export your invoice again and recheck it.
