Context and Significance
This rule is checked once per VAT breakdown line. Half-up versus banker’s rounding mismatches between the source ERP and the converter are the typical cause of failure.
Solution
Recompute every BT-117 as round(BT-116 × BT-119 / 100, 2) using the rounding mode the receiver expects (commercial rounding for German receivers).
