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.

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
