Document level allowance amount (BT-92) is required.

ExampleEN 16931 (UBL)

An invoice built like a valid one, except for this:

<cac:AllowanceCharge>

  <cbc:AllowanceChargeReason>Volume discount</cbc:AllowanceChargeReason>
  <cac:TaxCategory>
    <cbc:ID>S</cbc:ID>
    <cbc:Percent>19.00</cbc:Percent>
    <cac:TaxScheme>
      <cbc:ID>VAT</cbc:ID>
    </cac:TaxScheme>
  </cac:TaxCategory>
</cac:AllowanceCharge>
