Validation message

If the VAT accounting currency code (BT-6) is present, then the Invoice total VAT amount in accounting currency (BT-111) shall be provided.

Explanation

The invoice names a separate currency in which VAT is accounted for, for example because it is invoiced in US dollars but the VAT has to be declared in euros. It must then also state the VAT total in that currency. If the VAT accounting currency is the invoice currency, it is not stated separately.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice that states the VAT amount in the VAT accounting currency, or that leaves the separate currency out if it is the invoice currency.
