BR-12 to BR-15: the four document totals every invoice must carry

Four rules, one per mandatory total, and they fire independently of each other. An invoice must state the Sum of Invoice line net amount (BT-106), the Invoice total amount without VAT (BT-109), the Invoice total amount with VAT (BT-112) and the Amount due for payment (BT-115). These four rules check only that each total is present. Whether the numbers agree with each other is checked by the calculation rules in the BR-CO family.

About the BR family

Core invoice rules. These govern the fields every EN 16931 invoice must carry, regardless of VAT treatment or country.

A validator reports one code at a time. These check the same fields, so they are the ones most likely to fire on the same invoice.
