BR-DEC-RO-1009: VAT taxable amount per category: two decimals at most

What it means

In the VAT breakdown, each VAT category, such as the standard rate, a reduced rate or an exempt category, has a taxable amount (BT-116). That amount is written with more than two digits after the decimal point. Digits are counted as written in the file, so 1000.000 fails even though it equals 1000. It applies to invoices and credit notes in the Romanian CIUS-RO format.

Why it matters

The VAT of each category is worked out from its taxable amount, and the total VAT is the sum of those amounts. The Romanian CIUS-RO rules count more than two decimals as a fatal error, so the file is rejected.

How to fix it

Open the VAT breakdown, which has one row per VAT rate or category. For each row, use the sum of the line amounts in that category, adjusted for any invoice-level discounts and charges in it, rounded to two decimals. If a total comes out long, a line amount was probably not rounded, so check BR-DEC-RO-23 as well. In the XML it is the TaxableAmount of each TaxSubtotal inside the TaxTotal.
