BR-FR-DEC-01_BT-117: Invalid format for a VAT breakdown VAT amount

What it means

BT-117 is the VAT amount for one VAT breakdown entry, identified by its VAT category and, where applicable, rate. In UBL, the checked element is cac:TaxTotal/cac:TaxSubtotal/cbc:TaxAmount; CII checks the corresponding field. The check concerns the number format, not the VAT calculation.

Why it matters

Software needs to read the VAT amount for each breakdown entry when processing the VAT total.

How to fix it

Find the affected VAT breakdown entry by its VAT category and, where applicable, rate. Correct its VAT amount (BT-117), not the overall VAT total. Use a dot and no more than two decimal places, remove grouping separators and currency symbols, check the character limit and recheck the file.

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.
