What it means
Within each line's SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement (BG-25), the check flags any ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation/ram:NetLineTotalAmount element, even if it is empty.
Why it matters
Despite its name, NetLineTotalAmount is not the element mapped to the line amount excluding VAT (BT-131). EN 16931 uses LineTotalAmount for that amount.
How to fix it
Check the correct line amount excluding VAT using the quantity, unit price, discounts and charges. Record it in SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation/LineTotalAmount and remove NetLineTotalAmount from the same section. Do not copy a value across without checking it. Recheck your file.
