PEPPOL-EN16931-R042

Validation message

Allowance/charge percentage MUST be provided when allowance/charge base amount is provided.

Explanation

When an allowance or charge states a base amount, the percentage applied to it must also be stated. Otherwise the amount can't be checked.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice that states the percentage for the base amount, or omits the base amount if the allowance or charge is a fixed amount. This usually comes from the seller's invoicing software, not from data entry.
