BR-13 — Missing total amount without VAT

What it means

The invoice total amount without VAT is missing. This total is the sum of lines, minus document-level allowances plus document-level charges (see BR-CO-13).

How to fix it

Check that the LegalMonetaryTotal section has the TaxExclusiveAmount field filled in, and that it matches the formula: sum of lines − allowances

charges.

Example

Wrong: the TaxExclusiveAmount element is missing. Correct: <cbc:TaxExclusiveAmount currencyID="EUR">500.00</cbc:TaxExclusiveAmount>.
