Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – The document-level charge has no amount

Hello,

could you clarify a detail on your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate} (BR-36)? The document-level charge is present without an amount (BT-99). Enter the agreed amount for the affected adjustment and verify the totals that use it.

Could you send us the corrected invoice?

Thank you and kind regards

Example

The invoice lists a document-wide shipping fee of EUR 10 but omits the amount field. Enter EUR 10 in that field.
