BR-CO-15: Invoice total with 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 with VAT (BT-112) = invoice total amount without VAT (BT-109) + invoice total VAT amount (BT-110).
How to fix it
Build the gross total from net plus VAT, both already rounded to two decimals. In UBL the VAT amount in invoice currency counts, that is the cac:TaxTotal that contains cac:TaxSubtotal.
Where the field is in the file
- UBL:
cac:LegalMonetaryTotal/cbc:TaxInclusiveAmount = TaxExclusiveAmount + cac:TaxTotal/cbc:TaxAmount - CII:
ram:GrandTotalAmount = ram:TaxBasisTotalAmount + ram:TaxTotalAmount
The rule applies to every format built on EN 16931: Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and Factur-X, and other national CIUS.
