What it means
The check applies to the invoice total including VAT (BT-112). In UBL, this is cac:LegalMonetaryTotal/cbc:TaxInclusiveAmount; CII checks the corresponding field. It checks the number format, not whether the total equals the total excluding VAT plus the VAT amount.
Why it matters
Software needs to read your total including VAT as a number when processing the invoice totals.
How to fix it
Correct BT-112 in your source invoice or XML export. Remove grouping separators, currency symbols and spaces, and use no more than two decimal places. Check the character limit. If the calculation also needs correcting, check that separately, then regenerate and recheck the file.
Once the file is corrected, check it again for free: Check an e-invoice
