FX-SCH-A-000382: At most one line amount excluding VAT per totals block

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000382 means a line totals block in your Factur-X or ZUGFeRD Extended file contains more than one line amount excluding VAT (BT-131, ram:LineTotalAmount). Remove extra occurrences from the affected block.

What it means

Each ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation inside a line's ram:SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement may contain at most one direct ram:LineTotalAmount child. This test limits occurrences of BT-131; it does not require the element or check its calculation.

Why it matters

The line totals block allows no more than one value for this amount. Repeating the element exceeds that limit even if the repeated values are identical.

How to fix it

Check the affected line's amount excluding VAT (BT-131). Keep no more than one appropriate ram:LineTotalAmount inside its ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation. If your software keeps exporting duplicates, ask its supplier to correct the export. Export the file again and recheck it.
