BR-43

An invoice line charge (BG-28) has no charge amount (BT-141).

Rule: BR-43 — official EN 16931 / XRechnung rule
Severity: error
Business term: BT-141
Detected by: tier 3 — KoSIT validator (authoritative)
Reachability: Only reachable when validating your own XML — normbill-generated documents cannot trigger it

The request schema requires amount (or base_amount + percent) on every line charge and the serializer always writes cbc:Amount; the UBL schema makes the element mandatory too.

How to fix it

Add cbc:Amount to the line charge.
