BR-14: invoice total amount with VAT missing
The invoice does not state the total amount with VAT (BT-112). This is the final amount before deducting any prepaid amount (BT-113) — the amount actually due (BT-115) is calculated separately and checked by BR-CO-16.
Last updated: 2026-07-22
Affected field
BT-112 InvoiceTotalAmountWithVAT / cbc:TaxInclusiveAmount (UBL, inside cac:LegalMonetaryTotal) / ram:GrandTotalAmount (CII, inside ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementHeaderMonetarySummation)
Cause
The field is not exported by the invoicing software, or an intermediate transformation (e.g. a CSV-to-XML export) drops this total while correctly computing the net amount and VAT separately.
Fix
Populate cbc:TaxInclusiveAmount (UBL) or ram:GrandTotalAmount (CII) with BT-109 (net amount) plus BT-110 (total VAT). Then verify consistency with BR-CO-15, and if prepayments exist, with BR-CO-16 for the amount due.
Check your invoice for this and other errors.

Frequently asked questions
Is BT-112 the amount the customer must pay?▼
Not always. If a prepaid amount (BT-113) was already made, the amount actually due is BT-115, distinct from BT-112. BT-112 is the invoice's total with VAT, before deducting payments already received.
Can this field be negative?▼
On a credit note or adjustment invoice BT-112 can represent a negative or refundable amount depending on the software's conventions. BR-14 only checks that the field is present.
