What it means
The check applies to BT-106, the sum of your line amounts excluding VAT. In UBL, this is cac:LegalMonetaryTotal/cbc:LineExtensionAmount; CII checks the corresponding field. The value must meet the decimal format and length limits. This rule does not check whether the sum is correct.
Why it matters
Software needs to read the sum of your line amounts as a number when processing your invoice totals.
How to fix it
Correct BT-106 in your source invoice or XML export. Remove grouping separators, currency symbols and spaces. If the value has excess decimal places, correct its rounding rather than cutting off digits. Check the character limit, regenerate the file and recheck it.
Once the file is corrected, check it again for free: Check an e-invoice
