Invalid checksum of CIF number (Spain)	This rule describes the algorithm for checksum letter for CIF number (Spain) using the following logic: 1) sum up the 7 digits of the CIF identifier --> Summa A, 2) for each of the digits of the odd positions, multiply the digit by 2 and add the result numbers, but if the result has a single digit simply this figure is added. (ie if the digit is 6, the result would be 6 x 2 = 12 -> 1 + 2 = 3, more if the digit is 2, the result would be 2 x 2 = 4). --> Summa = B , 3) add the result of the previous 2 steps. --> A + B = C 4) the last digit of the previous sum (C) is subtracted to 10, whose result would be the control code: if C = 14, the last digit is 4, so we would have 10 - 4 = 6. if the last digit of the previous step sum is 0 (eg C = 30), subtraction is not performed and 0 is taken as the control code	RELEASED	ERROR
