What it means
The seller's address must have a city (BT-37). An empty value or one with only spaces counts as missing. In the XML it is cbc:CityName in the seller's postal address.
Why it matters
Without a city the seller's address is incomplete, so the recipient and the tax authority cannot place the seller properly. The Romanian rules (CIUS-RO) then reject the file.
How to fix it
Open your company details or seller settings in your invoicing software and fill in the city or town. If the seller is in Bucharest, the city must be a sector code such as SECTOR1, as BR-RO-100 explains. Check that the city is not only typed into the address line, because the invoice reads the separate city field.
The rule as published
Localitatea Vanzatorului (BT-37) trebuie furnizata. #Seller city(BT-37) must be provided. Business terms: BT-37
