Error code BR-CO-10

The sum of the lines doesn't add up

The total of the lines (BT-106) must equal the sum of all line amounts (BT-131).

The official rule

“Sum of Invoice line net amount (BT-106) = Σ Invoice line net amount (BT-131).”
In EN 16931 1.3.16 (UBL), EN 16931 1.3.17 (UBL), EN 16931 1.3.17 (CII)Severity: Error

Official text, in the language the rule set publishes it in.

Fields named: BT-106 · BT-131

Common causes

  • A line amount was changed by hand after the totals were calculated.
  • Rounding is done differently on the lines and on the total.
  • A line was added or removed without recalculating.

How to fix it

  • Let your software recalculate the totals.
  • Check that every line amount has at most two decimals.
