    The XML snippet below would pass this check.

        <Creditor>
          <Name>Creditor2</Name>
        </Creditor>
      </Transaction>
    </Message>

    The other snippet below however would not pass this check. (The sum of transaction amounts is more than 100)

        <NumberOfTransactions>1</NumberOfTransactions>
      </Header>
      <Transaction>
