Below is the xml part of calculation, as amount value is only allowed upto 2 decimal, so when placed order qty 1 then it gives 200, but when same item ordered quantity 46 then giving calculation mistake warning, how to handle such cases.

**Post date:** [February 2, 2026, 7:26pm UTC](https://zatca1.discourse.group/t/item-price-1-739-qty-ordered-46-giving-calculation-mistake-warning/9658/2 "2026-02-02T19:26:44Z")

I’m having similar issue

Suppose I have an invoice with **2 items** , where:

- Each item price is **0.50 SAR** , **tax-inclusive**
- VAT rate = **15%**

### Our calculation logic (line-level rounding):

For each item:

- Net price = 0.50 ÷ 1.15 = **0.43478**
- Rounded net price per line = **0.43**
- Tax per line = 0.50 − 0.43 = **0.07**

So the invoice lines are:

- Line 1: Net = 0.43, VAT = 0.07
- Line 2: Net = 0.43, VAT = 0.07

### Invoice totals based on line sums:

- Total net amount = 0.43 + 0.43 = **0.86**
- Total VAT = 0.07 + 0.07 = **0.14**
- Total amount = **1.00**

### The problem (ZATCA warning):

ZATCA validation gives a warning/error stating that:

> **Invoice total net amount must equal the sum of invoice line net amounts**

However, if the total net amount is recalculated **from the total tax-inclusive amount** :

- Invoice total (tax-inclusive) = 1.00
- Net total = 1.00 ÷ 1.15 = **0.86956**
- Rounded to two decimals = **0.87**

This results in:

- Invoice net total = **0.87**
- Sum of line net amounts = **0.86**

➡ **Mismatch of 0.01** , which causes a ZATCA warning.

### My question:

Given that ZATCA specifications require:

- Line net amounts to be rounded to two decimals **individually**
- Invoice totals to be consistent with line totals

**What is the correct and ZATCA-compliant approach in this scenario?**

- Should the **invoice net total be derived strictly from the sum of rounded line net amounts**?
- Or should the **line net amounts be adjusted** to match the invoice-level calculation?
- How should rounding differences (±0.01) be handled to avoid validation warnings?

Any clarification or official guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @mohammed-danish

Thanks for reaching out,

In the first InvoiceLine, you are using the following:  
46.00 as InvoicedQuantity  
1.74 as PriceAmount  
This will lead us to the LineExtensionAmount for this Line Item as per the formula (LineExtensionAmount = Quantity _PriceAmount) =\> (46.00 \* 1.74_), the value for LineExtensionAmount in the first Line Item should be 80.04, not 80.00

I hope the above clarification will help you to solve it. Please do not hesitate to reach out for any further clarifications.

Additionally, kindly share the exact rule code with the message to double-check it.

@Ankit.K.Tiwari Hi, your input is much appreciated.

Thanks,  
Ibrahem Daoud.

Hi @Saleh1

To provide comprehensive support as usual, kindly share the XML along with the warning code and message.

Thanks

I got this warning

- [BR-S-08]-In a VAT breakdown (BG-23) where the VAT category code (BT-118) is ’ Standard rated’ the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) shall equal the sum of Invoice line net amounts (BT-131) minus the sum of Document level allowance amounts (BT-92) plus the sum of Document level charge amounts (BT-99) where the VAT category codes (BT-151, BT-95, BT-102) are ‘Standard Rate’.

I understand that total before task should be 0.86 but this won’t give me the total of 1 tax included since I have 2 items each price is 0.5 tax included.

Do not round the net price.

Calculate the tax at the line level based on the LineExtensionAmount before rounding it to two decimal places.

In your case:

Price Amount = 1.739  
Quantity = 46

Before rounding:  
LineExtensionAmount = 46 × 1.739 = 79.994  
Tax Amount = 79.994 × 0.15 = 11.9991

After rounding:  
LineExtensionAmount = 80.00  
Tax Amount = 12.00  
RoundingAmount = 92.00

However, if you were to round the price to 1.74, the result would be as follows:

LineExtensionAmount = 80.04  
Tax Amount = 12.01  
RoundingAmount = 92.05
