Validation message

An Invoice shall have the Sum of Invoice line net amount (BT-106).

Explanation

An e-invoice must state the sum of the net amounts of all lines. Allowances and charges, the VAT and the total are calculated from it, and a receiving system uses it to check the invoice.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice that states the sum of the line net amounts. When it is missing, the seller's invoicing software is usually the cause.

This field is required by §14 Abs. 4 Nr. 7 UStG. A missing or incorrect value may affect input VAT deduction (Vorsteuerabzug) for the recipient.
