Use single quotes to delimit the picture string when you used double 
quotes for the select attribute.

select="format-dateTime(current-dateTime(),'[Y0001][M01][D01][H01][m01]')"

This wonbt work because
a) the scope of the variable declarations will be limited to the 
xsl:when and xsl:otherwise branches, respectively. There wonbt be a 
variable $POOwnerType outside of them.
b) the strings 'W' and 'L' arenbt properly delimited
c) there is no function contains-case-insensitive()

Use this for the variable declaration:

<xsl:variable name="POOwnerType" as="xs:string">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="matches($InvoicePOLineOwner, 'Law', 'i')">
      <xsl:sequence select="'W'"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:sequence select="'L'"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

or shorter

<xsl:variable name="POOwnerType" as="xs:string"
  select="if (matches($InvoicePOLineOwner, 'Law', 'i'))
          then 'W' else 'L'"/>

If you use an editor such as oXygen it will make you aware of all these 
issues, thanks to the embedded Saxon processor.

Because the XML input lacks essential parts, I was unable to validate 
the remainder of your XSLTbs functionality. If you want me to check it, 
you may send me a complete input off-list. Of course you might ask the 
next question on the list when you encounter the next hurdle. Keep on 
exploring XSLT 2, itbs totally worth it!
