Amount or number written as text

Finding SIVI-TYPE-01 of the free validator

Why it matters

Amounts and other numbers must be JSON numbers so they can be added up and reconciled exactly. Text in quotes is not a number, even if it looks like one.

Example

What the validator says about a test message:

What is wrong
"startAmount" contains the text "1000.00" instead of a number.
Where
Field "startAmount" (Amount (for example of accrued capital) at the start of a period) in cohort "COH-20-24" in scheme "SPR-01". Path: party/0/pension/0/pension/0/startAmount.
How to fix it
Write the value without quotes, for example 1000.00 rather than "1000.00". Check the number format in the export or the mapping.
