The sum of amounts which have been paid in advance for goods and services covered by the Invoice. This amount is deducted from the Invoice total amount with VAT (BT-112) to calculate the Amount due for payment (BT-115).
Used when advance payments, deposits, or partial payments have been made before the invoice date. Common in German business practice for construction contracts, large orders, or service agreements where partial payment is required upfront.
Optional according to EN 16931-1. Must be in the same currency as BT-5 (Invoice currency code). When provided, affects the calculation of BT-115: BT-115 = BT-112 - BT-113 + BT-114.

This includes down payments for orders, security deposits, or installment payments for services or goods.
BT-113 reduces the amount due for payment. The formula is: BT-115 (Amount due) = BT-112 (Invoice total with VAT) - BT-113 (Paid amount) + BT-114 (Rounding amount). If BT-113 equals BT-112, the amount due becomes zero.
BT-113 must be expressed in the same currency as specified in BT-5 (Invoice currency code). The currency cannot differ from the invoice currency.
While technically possible, BT-113 should not normally exceed BT-112 (Invoice total with VAT). If it does, BT-115 (Amount due) becomes negative, indicating the customer has overpaid and may be entitled to a refund.
In German business practice, advance payments are typically documented through separate advance payment invoices (Abschlagsrechnungen) or payment confirmations. These documents should be referenced when using BT-113, and the VAT treatment must comply with German tax regulations.
BT-113 must follow BR-DEC-16 (maximum 2 decimal places), BR-CO-16 (proper calculation with BT-115), and BR-2 (non-negative values). The amount must be mathematically consistent with the payment calculation formula.
