BR-CO-15: The total with VAT is not the total without VAT plus VAT

This code shows up when an electronic invoice is validated. Here is what it means, why it fires, and what to change in the file.

Why this code appears

The invoice total with VAT (BT-112) does not equal the total without VAT plus the total VAT (BT-109 + BT-110). A one-cent gap is enough, and it often comes from rounding applied to the display but not to the file.

How to fix it

Recalculate BT-112 = BT-109 + BT-110, using the values as written in the XML, not as printed.

Where it happens

This code comes from EN 16931, the European e-invoicing standard. It concerns business term BT-112.
