Net price, list price and price discount do not add up · PEPPOL-EN16931-R046
- Severity · Error
- Applies to · UBL / CII
- Editorial review pending
When an invoice line gives a gross list price (BT-148) in addition to the net price (BT-146), the following must hold: net price = list price minus price discount (BT-147). For example 80.00 = 100.00 minus 20.00. In this invoice the calculation does not work out, so the invoice is not valid.
As of
Who can correct it?
The sender can correct the invoice.
How to fix it
- Ask the sender for a corrected invoice in which list price, discount and net price are consistent.
- If you issued the invoice yourself: leave out the list price if you do not want to show a discount; the net price alone is enough.
Rule text and source
Paraphrase · When the item price before discount is present, the item net price must equal that price less the item price discount. The CII comparison treats a missing price discount amount as zero.
Message to the sender
Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – unit price calculation
Hello,
Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. When checking it we noticed that on one line the net price does not equal the list price minus the price discount (rule PEPPOL-EN16931-R046). The invoice is not valid like this. Could you please check the prices and send a corrected invoice?
Kind regardsExample
A price of EUR 100 before discount and an item price discount of EUR 20 give a net price of EUR 80. A stated net price of EUR 90 is inconsistent with those two values.
