The two VAT totals do not have the same operational sign
The total VAT amount (BT-110) and its counterpart in the accounting currency (BT-111) must carry the same operational sign.
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.
Why this error happens
Two opposite signs describe an invoice that owes VAT in one currency and reclaims it in the other: impossible for a single taxable event. It is the signature of a credit note converted into a currency without the sign following.
How to fix it
Fix the conversion in the system producing the invoice. Factlint computes the expected value and returns it in `suggested_value`, but never writes a VAT amount.
