What it means
The check applies to your invoice total excluding VAT, after document-level discounts and charges (BT-109). In UBL, this is cac:LegalMonetaryTotal/cbc:TaxExclusiveAmount; CII checks the corresponding field. It checks decimal formatting and length, not the total's calculation.
Why it matters
Software uses this total alongside the VAT total when processing your invoice totals. The VAT calculation may involve more than one VAT breakdown entry.
How to fix it
Correct BT-109 in your source invoice or XML export. Remove grouping separators, currency symbols and spaces, and use no more than two decimal places. If you change the amount through rounding, check the related totals separately. Regenerate the file and recheck it.

The rule as published
Le montant « … » est invalide. Il doit comporter au plus 2 décimales, être exprimé avec un point comme séparateur, et ne pas dépasser 19 caractères (hors séparateur). Le signe « - » est autorisé. Veuillez corriger ce montant. Where France CTC (CII) run it, the rule reads:
Le montant « <value-of select="."/> » est invalide. Il doit comporter au plus 2 décimales, être exprimé avec un point comme séparateur, et ne pas dépasser 19 caractères (hors séparateur). Le signe « - » est autorisé. Veuillez corriger ce montant. Where this rule applies
