Total without VAT doesn’t add up

ErrorEN 16931BT-109

Also available in:NederlandsFrançais

What it means

The invoice total without VAT (BT-109) must equal the sum of line net amounts, minus invoice-level discounts, plus invoice-level charges. The amounts do not balance.

Typical causes

  • An invoice discount was not deducted from the total
  • A line discount was deducted again at invoice level

How to fix it

  1. Check the line net total and the totals of invoice-level discounts and charges.
  2. Recalculate the total without VAT: line net total − invoice discounts + invoice charges.
What the rule says (technical)

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).

Recalculate cbc:TaxExclusiveAmount from line totals, allowances and charges.
