What it means
The qdt:DateTimeString for the seller's order date referenced on a line must have a format attribute. This rule checks that the attribute exists, not whether its value or the date text is valid.
Why it matters
The format attribute identifies how the seller's order date text is written.
How to fix it
Check the XML exported for the seller's order date on the affected line. Add format to qdt:DateTimeString inside ram:SellerOrderReferencedDocument/ram:FormattedIssueDateTime. For a date written as YYYYMMDD, use format="102". Keep the date text consistent with the chosen code, then check the corrected file again.
