fatalEN 16931EN 16931 business ruleCIIUBLBT-111

The allowed maximum number of decimals for the Invoice total VAT amount in accounting currency (BT-111) is 2.

Why it fails

Invoice total VAT amount in accounting currency (BT-111) is written with more than 2 decimal places.

How to fix it

Round BT-111 to 2 decimals before serialising it. This is a formatting rule, not an arithmetic one - the value itself is usually right, the XML just carries extra digits from a float. Format the amount as a fixed-point decimal string.
