Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – sum of line amounts missing

Hello,

Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. The electronic invoice does not contain the sum of the net amounts of all lines (rule BR-12), which an e-invoice requires. Could you please send us a corrected version?

Kind regards

Example

Two invoice lines have net amounts of EUR 40.00 and EUR 60.00. The totals omit BT-106. The new export includes EUR 100.00 in that field.
