The amount due does not match the third-party payments · BR-DEX-09

The XRechnung extension allows third-party payments to be shown: amounts the buyer is to pay to a party other than the seller. In that case the following must hold: amount due (BT-115) = total with VAT (BT-112) minus amount already paid (BT-113) plus rounding amount (BT-114) plus the sum of all third-party payments. This invoice does not add up, so it is not valid.

How to fix it

Hello,
Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. When checking it we noticed that the amount due does not match the total, the prepayments and the third-party payments shown (rule BR-DEX-09). The invoice is not valid like this. Could you please check the amounts and send a corrected invoice?
Kind regardsExample
