What does DK-R-016 mean? For Danish Suppliers, a Credit note cannot have a negative total (PayableAmount)
Why did my invoice fail DK-R-016?
For Danish suppliers, a credit note must not have a negative total payable amount (PayableAmount). In a credit note the amounts are already understood as amounts credited to the buyer, so making the total negative would double-negate the meaning and break automated booking. In UBL this is cac:LegalMonetaryTotal/cbc:PayableAmount on the CreditNote document.
