BR-12 error

BR-12 means the invoice is missing its Sum of Invoice line net amount — the header-level total of all lines' net amounts.

What this rule checks

Explanation

Every invoice must state the Sum of Invoice line net amount (BT-106) — a header-level total equal to the sum of all invoice lines' net amounts, before any document-level allowances or charges are applied. This rule fires when that total is missing entirely, not when it's present but wrong (a present-but-wrong total is BR-CO-10 instead).

How to fix it

Populate the line-total element (UBL: cbc:LineExtensionAmount under LegalMonetaryTotal; CII: ram:LineTotalAmount under SpecifiedTradeSettlementHeaderMonetarySummation) with the sum of every invoice line's net amount.
