PINT AE validation rule for UAE e-invoices
The total VAT amount and the total VAT amount in the VAT accounting currency must have the same sign, both positive or both negative.
Correct the sign of the total VAT amount in the VAT accounting currency.
The official wording of this rule is in the PINT AE specification published by OpenPeppol.
Alya Books builds the invoice XML so this holds; the official rule files confirm it on our sample documents.
يجب أن يكون لإجمالي مبلغ VAT ولإجمالي مبلغ VAT بعملة احتساب VAT الإشارة نفسها، موجبين معاً أو سالبين معاً.
صحّح إشارة إجمالي مبلغ VAT بعملة احتساب VAT.
See this rule in the interactive reference, or pre-check an invoice file.
