ExampleEN 16931 (UBL)
An invoice built like a valid one, except for this:
<cac:LegalMonetaryTotal>
<cbc:LineExtensionAmount currencyID="EUR">100.00</cbc:LineExtensionAmount>
<cbc:TaxExclusiveAmount currencyID="EUR">95.00</cbc:TaxExclusiveAmount>
<cbc:TaxInclusiveAmount currencyID="EUR">114.00</cbc:TaxInclusiveAmount>
<cbc:AllowanceTotalAmount currencyID="EUR">5.00</cbc:AllowanceTotalAmount>
<cbc:PayableAmount currencyID="EUR">114.00</cbc:PayableAmount>
</cac:LegalMonetaryTotal>The validator says: Sum of allowances on document level (BT-107) is 5.00, but the other amounts on the invoice add up to 10.00.
