fatal CII UBL
An EN 16931 calculation or consistency rule: an amount or condition does not match the other values in the invoice — most often the totals chain (line net amounts → total without VAT → VAT → total with VAT → amount due). This is an error: the invoice is rejected until it is fixed.
This error needs information only you have, so it is not repaired automatically. The free check shows every finding in the file with its location; if other errors in the same file are in the automatic set (totals, VAT breakdown, rounding, element order), the result page offers the corrected file for 9 €.
[BR-CO-19]-If Invoicing period (BG-14) is used, the Invoicing period start date (BT-73) or the Invoicing period end date (BT-74) shall be filled, or both.
