FX-SCH-A-000039: Use exactly one document totals block

What it means

The test counts ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementHeaderMonetarySummation elements directly inside ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement. It requires exactly one document totals block (BG-22), but does not check its contents or calculations. It applies to the Minimum, Basic WL, Basic, EN 16931 and Extended profiles of Factur-X 1.09 and ZUGFeRD 2.5.

Why it matters

One totals block gives your invoice a single place for its document totals. Separate checks cover the fields and amounts within that block.

How to fix it

Check whether your XML export omits the totals block or writes it more than once. Add the missing ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementHeaderMonetarySummation with the correct totals, or consolidate repeated blocks without losing any required figures. If your software creates the XML, have its export corrected if necessary. Export again and recheck.

The rule as published

Element 'ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementHeaderMonetarySummation' must occur exactly 1 times.
