Reproduced failure and correction
Tested on 2 November 2026 with the production SaxonC-HE 13.1 / saxonche 13.1.1 engine, en16931 mode, UBL. The XSD passes; the report then contains BR-CO-13. Restoring this fragment makes the complete original invoice pass the selected checks.
[BR-CO-13]-Invoice total amount without VAT (BT-109) = Σ Invoice line net amount (BT-131) - Sum of allowances on document level (BT-107) + Sum of charges on document level (BT-108).Additional triggered rules: 1. BR-CO-15. Counts include distinct error and warning codes; the target code is excluded.
Precise mutated XPath: /*/cac:LegalMonetaryTotal/cbc:TaxExclusiveAmount.
Calculation using this invoice
Net invoice total shown: 100.01 EUR. Expected: line net 100.00 − document allowances 0.00 + document charges 0.00 = 100.00 EUR. Difference: 0.01 EUR. Round the result to two decimal places.
