What it means
The check applies to the paid amount (BT-113), such as a deposit already received. In UBL, this is cac:LegalMonetaryTotal/cbc:PrepaidAmount; CII checks the corresponding field. It checks the number format, not the payment history or whether the field is required.
Why it matters
The paid amount is used when calculating the amount due, so software needs to read it as a number.
How to fix it
Find BT-113, the amount already paid, in your source invoice or export. Replace any text or placeholder with the appropriate numeric value, remove grouping separators and currency symbols, and use no more than two decimal places. Check the character limit and recheck the file.
