Original rule text
[BR-24]-Each Invoice line (BG-25) shall have an Invoice line net amount (BT-131).
exists(cbc:LineExtensionAmount)BR-24 is a fatal rule in the business layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.20 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected. It refers to BG-25, BT-131.
What this rule requires
The rule requires that every invoice line or credit note line carries an invoice line net amount (BT-131, "Rechnungszeilen-Nettobetrag"). In UBL, each cac:InvoiceLine or cac:CreditNoteLine element must contain a cbc:LineExtensionAmount element. In CII, each //ram:IncludedSupplyChainTradeLineItem must have a ram:LineTotalAmount element under ram:SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement/ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation. A document fails if any line is missing this element. This is a fatal rule, so such a document is rejected.
How to fix
Add the missing line net amount to each line. In UBL add cbc:LineExtensionAmount as a child of cac:InvoiceLine (or cac:CreditNoteLine) with the line net amount as its value. In CII add ram:LineTotalAmount under ram:SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement/ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation within the ram:IncludedSupplyChainTradeLineItem with the line net amount. Ensure the amount reflects the net amount for that line.
