The rule in plain words
The "Total" value of the item reported in column "Total" reported in Own funds (S.23.01) must be equal to the sum of the same item of "Tier 1 - unrestricted", "Tier 1 - restricted", and "Tier 2"
The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.
EIOPA writes it out as separate checks, one for each table or return it covers. Line4 Check runs two of them (BV535-1 and BV535-2), and a failure names the one that failed.
This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.23.01 as reported.
