BR-CO-16: Amount due for payment does not match
A rule from EN 16931. What the message means and how to fix it.
What the message means
Amount due for payment (BT-115) = invoice total with VAT (BT-112) − paid amount (BT-113) + rounding amount (BT-114).
How to fix it
If nothing was prepaid and no rounding applies, the amount due equals the gross total. For prepayments, enter the amount already paid in BT-113 “Paid amount”.
Where the field is in the file
- UBL:
cac:LegalMonetaryTotal/cbc:PayableAmount (PrepaidAmount, PayableRoundingAmount) - CII:
ram:DuePayableAmount (ram:TotalPrepaidAmount, ram:RoundingAmount)
The rule applies to every format built on EN 16931: Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and Factur-X, and other national CIUS.
