Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – net total missing

Hello,

Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. The electronic invoice does not contain the total amount without VAT (rule BR-13), which an e-invoice requires. Could you please send us a corrected version?

Kind regards

Example

The line net amounts add up to EUR 100.00 and there is a document-level allowance of EUR 10.00. BT-109 is missing. The corrected export includes EUR 90.00 in that field.
