Rule reference

BR-DEC-20 The invoice total without VAT, at two decimals

The invoice total without VAT must carry at most two decimals.

Business term
BT-109

You cannot trip this rule. It constrains a figure this library computes for you rather than one it reads from your invoice, so no input reaches it.

Every computed amount goes through the same rounding helper before it is written, so the decimal count is fixed at two by construction. If this rule ever does fire, it is a defect in @attestwire/en16931 and not in your invoice. Send it to hello@attestwire.com rather than changing your data to work around it.

Why there is no error payload here

Every other page in this reference carries the exact TeachingError the library returns, harvested by running it at build time. This one cannot: the rule guards a figure the library computes rather than one it reads, so there is no invoice that produces the object. Publishing an invented one would break the only promise the reference makes.

The rule is implemented, and it runs on every document. It is an assertion about our arithmetic, kept so that a regression in the totals is caught here rather than by a tax authority.
