BR-15 Amount due for payment is required

An invoice shall have the Amount due for payment (BT-115), the outstanding amount the buyer has to pay.

This is an EN 16931 core rule. BT-115 is what the buyer actually pays: BT-112 minus the paid amount (BT-113) plus the rounding amount (BT-114), as checked by BR-CO-16. For a fully prepaid invoice BT-115 is 0.00, but the element must still be present. Because the UBL schema already requires cbc:PayableAmount, BR-15 is mainly reported for CII invoices without ram:DuePayableAmount.

Solution

Add cac:LegalMonetaryTotal/cbc:PayableAmount equal to BT-112 minus prepaid amount (BT-113) plus rounding amount (BT-114).

Valid Examples

BT-115 = 1190.00 — nothing prepaid, so the amount due equals the total with VAT (BT-112)

Invalid Examples

In CII, ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementHeaderMonetarySummation has no ram:DuePayableAmount; in UBL a missing cbc:PayableAmount is already an XML schema error
