Raising this question in IFS Community based on a customer concern regarding PEPPOL. 

IFS standard Customer Invoice XMLs are rejected in PEPPOL e-invoicing whenever there is a Currency Rounding factor defined in IFS.
(Rounding factor in Invoice Information per currency window)

This happens because, currently rounding is handled in a separate invoice line in the XML which is not in conform with EHF format. According to our customer, this should be handled in a separate tag in the XML, not a separate line. 

Standard XML format

Due to this issue, our customer is either sending the invoices in mail or removes the rounding.

I would like to know whether there are more IFS customers who face this challenge in their day-to-day operations.

Thank you. 

Many of Glava's customers receive EHF invoices.
We first checked with our message broker Logiq if they could handle rounding as a separate (defective) invoice line, but it was difficult.
Then we turned off the rounding to avoid stop of EHF invoices.

Thanks @Waldemar Zieba , let’s keep this post open to hear more inputs from IFS customers.

The rounding of payable amount is described like this in the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 specifications:
 

In order to do correct mapping from IFS format, the rounding amount needs to be put in a separate tag on headerlevel, not as a separate invoiceline. The rounding amount is not subject to tax calculation, it is only used for making the payable amount with round figures
