## Official rule text

Each Invoice line charge (BG-28) shall have an Invoice line charge amount (BT-141).

## Why did my invoice fail BR-43?

Every Invoice line charge (BG-28) must carry an Invoice line charge amount (BT-141), the value of the surcharge applied to that specific line before VAT. Without it the line net amount and invoice totals cannot be calculated correctly.

## Common causes

- Line charge added with only a percentage/reason and no cbc:Amount
- Amount populated on cbc:BaseAmount rather than cbc:Amount
- Line-level charge emitted with an empty amount value

## How do I fix it?

```
Add the amount to the line's AllowanceCharge (ChargeIndicator=true): <cac:InvoiceLine>...<cac:AllowanceCharge><cbc:ChargeIndicator>true</cbc:ChargeIndicator><cbc:Amount currencyID="EUR">3.00</cbc:Amount>...</cac:AllowanceCharge></cac:InvoiceLine>
```
