FX-SCH-A-000793: Use an allowed format code for the receiving advice date

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000793 means a non-empty format code on your receiving advice date is not in the allowed code list. Correct the format attribute on qdt:DateTimeString and make sure the date text matches it.

What it means

This rule checks a non-empty format value on ram:ReceivingAdviceReferencedDocument/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 receiving advice date is written. The Extended profile restricts the non-empty codes you can use.

How to fix it

Correct format on ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:ReceivingAdviceReferencedDocument/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.
