What this rule requires
The rule requires every invoice line charge (BG-28) to include an invoice line charge amount (BT-141). In UBL, any cac:AllowanceCharge with cbc:ChargeIndicator = true() inside an cac:InvoiceLine or cac:CreditNoteLine must contain a cbc:Amount. In CII, any ram:SpecifiedTradeAllowanceCharge with ram:ChargeIndicator equal to 'true' inside a ram:SpecifiedLineTradeSettlement must contain a ram:ActualAmount. A document that does not satisfy this fatal rule fails validation.
How to fix
For UBL, add a cbc:Amount element inside the charge cac:AllowanceCharge (the one with cbc:ChargeIndicator true) for each affected line. For CII, add a ram:ActualAmount element inside the ram:SpecifiedTradeAllowanceCharge with ram:ChargeIndicator true. Populate it with the monetary amount of the line charge. The rule only checks that the element is present, not the currency or the value.
