What does BR-DEC-02 mean? The allowed maximum number of decimals for the Document level allowance base amount (BT-93) is 2.
Why did my invoice fail BR-DEC-02?
The Document level allowance base amount (BT-93), the amount the allowance percentage is applied to, may carry no more than two decimals. This keeps the base consistent with the resulting allowance amount so that base x percentage reconciles at 2-decimal precision.
Official rule text
The allowed maximum number of decimals for the Document level allowance base amount (BT-93) is 2.
Common causes
- Emitting a base amount with more than 2 decimals from an intermediate calculation
- Copying a high-precision net figure into cbc:BaseAmount unrounded
- Currency conversion producing 4-6 decimal intermediate values
How do I fix it?
Round the base before output: <cbc:BaseAmount currencyID="EUR">1000.00</cbc:BaseAmount> in the document-level allowance cac:AllowanceCharge.
