The total of charges does not match the charges declared
The sum of charges on document level (BT-108) must equal the sum of each document level charge amount (BT-99).
A financial field: the expected value is computed and offered, never written into the document — the correction is the issuer's to make. Test your invoice to find out whether it is affected.
The message your validator prints
Copied verbatim from the sealed artefact: this is the exact sentence the check prints when this rule fails.
[BR-CO-12]-Sum of charges on document level (BT-108) = Σ Document level charge amount (BT-99).

Test your file with this error in mind
Upload the invoice involved: the report will say whether this code appears, where it appears in the document, and whether Factlint can only report it or also fix it.
To automate this check in an ERP flow, call the validation API and link every returned code to its public page.
Why this error happens
Freight is the textbook case: computed by the carrier, added to the total by one module, then detailed as BG-21 by another — with a rounding or an included VAT on one side and not the other.
How to fix it
Fix the calculation in the system that produced the invoice, not in the file. Factlint computes the expected value and returns it in `suggested_value`, but never writes the field.
