Validation message
In a VAT breakdown (BG-23) where VAT category code (BT-118) is "Zero rated" the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) shall equal the sum of Invoice line net amount (BT-131) minus the sum of Document level allowance amounts (BT-92) plus the sum of Document level charge amounts (BT-99) where the VAT category codes (BT-151, BT-95, BT-102) are "Zero rated".
Explanation
The taxable amount of the 'zero rated' category in the VAT breakdown must follow from the items in that category: the sum of the line net amounts plus document-level charges minus document-level allowances. The line amounts count as they appear on the invoice. The invoice states a different amount.
How to fix
Ask the seller for a corrected invoice whose taxable amount matches the lines, allowances and charges of this category. Often an item has been assigned the wrong category or the wrong rate.
