What it means
Checks that SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation under each line's SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement has no TotalAllowanceChargeAmount child.
Why it matters
The line amount excluding VAT (BT-131) already reflects the line's discounts and charges. The EN 16931 CII mapping does not use a separate combined total in this block.
How to fix it
Delete TotalAllowanceChargeAmount from the affected line's SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation, leaving LineTotalAmount. Keep the individual discount and charge entries. Check the line amount excluding VAT (BT-131), taking account of the quantity, unit price, any price base quantity, discounts and charges. Recheck your file.
