What it means
All dates in D406 are ISO: year-month-day with hyphens (2026-10-15).
Common causes
- Romanian format 15.10.2026 or 15/10/2026.
- Date with time (2026-10-15T00:00:00) where only a date is allowed.
- Non-existent date (2026-02-30).
How to fix it
- Export dates as YYYY-MM-DD.
Wrong
<TransactionDate>15.10.2026</TransactionDate>
Correct
<TransactionDate>2026-10-15</TransactionDate>
