What it means
In the Basic profiles of Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, this rule checks a non-empty currencyID on ram:TaxTotalAmount within ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementHeaderMonetarySummation, but only where that attribute already equals ram:InvoiceCurrencyCode. It checks the code against the permitted currency list. The currency match selects the amount to check; this rule does not itself test whether the currencies match or whether the VAT total exists.
Why it matters
The currency code identifies the denomination of the invoice VAT total. A standard code distinguishes the currency without relying on a symbol or currency name.
How to fix it
Check which currency the invoice and its VAT total are expressed in. Correct ram:InvoiceCurrencyCode and use the same permitted code in currencyID on the ram:TaxTotalAmount representing BT-110. Keep any separate VAT accounting currency total distinct. Export and recheck.
