FX-SCH-A-000951: Use an allowed format for the advance payment received date

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000951 means a non-empty format code on an advance payment's received date is not in the Extended profile's date-format list. Replace it with a permitted code and make the date text match that format.

What it means

This checks format on ram:SpecifiedAdvancePayment/ram:FormattedReceivedDateTime/qdt:DateTimeString against the profile's date-format list. An empty code value passes this test. It does not check the date text. FX-SCH-A-000950 separately requires the attribute to exist.

Why it matters

The format code identifies the date representation used for the received date.

How to fix it

Correct format on the qdt:DateTimeString inside ram:FormattedReceivedDateTime using the permitted date-format list. If you use 102, write the actual received date as YYYYMMDD without separators. Export the corrected file and recheck it.
