tier 3 — KoSIT validator (authoritative)
Reachability
Only reachable when validating your own XML — normbill-generated documents cannot trigger it

normbill computes the amount due itself and formats it with exactly 2 decimals; supplied totals are only cross-checked at tier 1 (BR-CO-13/14/15).

How to fix it

Round cbc:PayableAmount to 2 decimals.

BR-DEC-18 auf Deutsch — was bedeutet der Fehler?

Der fällige Zahlungsbetrag (BT-115) hat mehr als 2 Nachkommastellen. EN 16931 erlaubt höchstens 2 Dezimalstellen — der KoSIT-Validator lehnt die Rechnung ab.

So beheben Sie den Fehler

Runden Sie cbc:PayableAmount auf 2 Nachkommastellen. normbill berechnet den fälligen Betrag selbst und gibt ihn immer mit exakt 2 Stellen aus.
