Official rule text

Invoice total amount without VAT (BT-109) = Σ Invoice line net amount (BT-131) - Sum of allowances on document level (BT-107) + Sum of charges on document level (BT-108).

What this error means

The invoice total without VAT (BT-109) must equal the sum of line nets (BT-106) minus document-level allowances (BT-107) plus document-level charges (BT-108). Your declared BT-109 breaks that equation.

How to fix it

  1. Recompute BT-109 = BT-106 − BT-107 + BT-108, all rounded to 2 decimals.
  2. If you have no document-level allowances/charges, BT-109 must simply equal BT-106.
  3. Check the allowance/charge indicator flags - an allowance encoded as a charge flips the sign and breaks the equation.
