PEPPOL-EN16931-R055 The invoice total VAT amount (BT-110) is 285.00 EUR and the same total in the VAT accounting currency (BT-111) is -3200.00 SEK

The invoice total VAT amount (BT-110) is 285.00 EUR and the same total in the VAT accounting currency (BT-111) is -3200.00 SEK. The two must carry the same operational sign, because they are one figure expressed twice — an exchange rate scales a number, it never flips it. Opposite signs mean the second figure was taken from a different document, or that a credit was converted without its sign. This is a Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 profile rule: it applies because profile is "peppol-bis-3". It does not apply to the en16931, xrechnung-ubl or xrechnung-cii profiles, whose validators will accept the same document.

This rule is implemented and its error payload below is real, but the long-form write-up — normative text, worked example, divergence note — is not written yet. Everything the library knows about this rule is on this page. Ask and we will prioritise it.
