Error

FX-SCH-A-000176: Each VAT breakdown row needs exactly one VAT amount

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000176 means a header VAT breakdown row has no ram:CalculatedAmount or has more than one. Give each row exactly one element for its VAT amount (BT-117), then export and check the file again.

What it means

Each ram:ApplicableTradeTax under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement represents a VAT breakdown row (BG-23). It must contain exactly one ram:CalculatedAmount for BT-117. This rule checks the element count, not the amount or its calculation.

Why it matters

Each row's VAT amount contributes to the VAT total. The profile requires one amount element per row, separately from the checks on the figures.

How to fix it

Check the VAT amount for each header VAT breakdown row. Add ram:CalculatedAmount if it is missing. If the row contains several, establish the correct amount and retain it in one element. Export the corrected file and check it again.

The rule as published

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