BR-CO-13: Invoice total without VAT does not match
A rule from EN 16931. What the message means and how to fix it.
What the message means
Invoice total amount without VAT (BT-109) = sum of invoice line net amounts (BT-106) − allowances on document level (BT-107) + charges on document level (BT-108).
How to fix it
Check whether document-level discounts or charges are included in the total, and calculate with values rounded to two decimals.
