BR-FR-DEC-01_BT-111: Total VAT in accounting currency must be a valid 2-decimal amount

What it means

The total VAT amount converted to the accounting currency (BT-111) must be a plain number: at most 2 decimals, a dot as the decimal point, and no more than 19 digits, not counting the dot. A minus sign is allowed. It is only used when the VAT accounting currency differs from the invoice currency. In a UBL file it is the cbc:TaxAmount under the cac:TaxTotal that carries the accounting currency. The CII rule set runs the same check on its equivalent field.

Why it matters

The VAT in the accounting currency is the figure used for VAT reporting, so the platform reads it as a number. If it cannot, the invoice is rejected.

How to fix it

Take the VAT total in the invoice currency, convert it with your exchange rate and round the result to 2 decimals. Write it with a dot, with no thousands separator or currency symbol. If your invoice currency and accounting currency are the same, remove this second VAT total.

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.
