fatalEN 16931EN 16931 business ruleCIIUBLBT-116

The allowed maximum number of decimals for the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) is 2.

Why it fails

VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) is written with more than 2 decimal places.

How to fix it

Round BT-116 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.

What the validator checks

CII — context $VAT_breakdown

string-length(substring-after(ram:BasisAmount,'.'))<=2

Nothing is stored, and the whole invoice is checked, not just this rule. A PDF only works if it is Factur-X / ZUGFeRD — a PDF with the invoice XML inside it.
