Acctually there is a Rounding error here …503,103.375 … It suppose to be 503103.38

So just follow the rules … For invoice lines … Round up to 2 Decimal numbers… … line by line
for Tax category … Get total taxable amount under that category … and Multiply by TaxPerc … the result for the tax amount to be rounded to 2 decimal numbers
same for Invoice Tax total …
for any total tax …Don’t make summing for Tax Lines Details

Hello, We are facing a similar issue that caused a warning message to appear with xml invoice and don’t know the cause of it because the invoice totals seems correct , and it appears with some price amount values and not others

</Invoice>

As we notice in the xml invoice there aren’t any charges , allowances , rounding.
Just one item with quantity of 1 and price of 11000000.

However , this xml invoice has only an item with price 15000000 and quantity of 1, it doesn’t give any warning.

</Invoice>

The same warning appears when the item price is 12000000, 13000000, but the warning
doesn’t appear when the price is 14000000, 15000000, 16000000.

Even more, many complicated numbers with more quantity completed with no warnings.

Can someone elaborate us what is the cause of this warning that appears randomly , even if the number doesn’t have decimals , because it concerns some customers ?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your precious time. I have resolved the issue now. As I previously shared, there was an issue with the tax amount calculation in my old XML. However, the question here is: why did ZATCA accept it?

i have 2 item one with standard vat and other with exempt reason or zero vat
how we can handle this scenrio
can u please provide guide related to this topic
