What it means
The invoice number (BT-1) must include at least one numeric character, 0 to 9. A number made only of letters or symbols, such as INVOICE, fails. Spaces around the number are ignored.
Why it matters
Invoice numbers follow a running sequence, and a number without a digit cannot be part of one. The Romanian system rejects the invoice.
How to fix it
Open the invoice number field in your invoicing software and check the numbering format. Make sure it includes a running number, for example INV-001 or FA-0001. If the software generates the number, change the number series setting rather than typing over the number on single invoices.
