Context and Significance

This is an EN16931 core decimal-precision constraint enforced by KoSIT: every monetary amount in the invoice must be expressed with no more than two decimals.

Solution

Round BT-113 to two decimal places before serialising the amount, and apply the same rounding used in the BR-CO total and sum calculations so the invoice still reconciles.
