The line amount does not match quantity and price · PEPPOL-EN16931-R120

  • Severity · Warning
  • Applies to · UBL / CII
  • Editorial review pending

The net amount of an invoice line (BT-131) should equal quantity (BT-129) times net price (BT-146), divided by the price base quantity if the price is per 100 units for example, plus line charges and minus line allowances. For at least one line this does not work out. The invoice is still valid, but you should check the amount; rounding of prices with many decimal places is a common cause.

As of

Who can correct it?

The sender can correct the invoice.

How to fix it

  1. Recalculate the affected line: quantity times unit price, plus charges, minus allowances.
  2. Ask the sender to clarify or send a corrected invoice if the difference is more than a rounding difference.

Rule text and source

Paraphrase · The line net amount is the quantity times the net price per unit, plus line charges and minus line allowances. The price per unit is the net price divided by the price base quantity. KoSIT warns when the difference exceeds 0.02 currency units, or 0.5 for HUF.

Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – amount of a line

Hello,

Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. Our check flagged that the net amount of one line does not follow from its quantity and unit price (rule PEPPOL-EN16931-R120). Could you please check the line and send a corrected invoice if necessary?

Kind regards

Example

Twenty items at EUR 50 per 100 items cost EUR 10. A EUR 2 line charge and a EUR 1 line allowance give EUR 11 net. A stated line net amount of EUR 12 is outside the tolerance.
