What it means
When the buyer's country code (BT-55) is RO and the buyer's county (country subdivision, BT-54) is RO-B, the buyer's city (BT-52) must be exactly one of SECTOR1, SECTOR2, SECTOR3, SECTOR4, SECTOR5 or SECTOR6. The rule does not apply to any other county.
Why it matters
Bucharest is divided into six sectors, and the Romanian rules want the sector as the city so that addresses in Bucharest are written in one fixed form. Any other value, such as the word Bucharest, makes the file fail the check and it is rejected.
How to fix it
In the customer's record, set the city to the sector code that matches the address, for example SECTOR3, in capitals and with no space. Bucharest, Bucuresti and Sector 3 all fail. Keep the county as RO-B. If the address is not in Bucharest, the county is the wrong one, so change it to the correct county code instead.
The rule as published
Daca Codul tarii Cumparatorului (BT-55) este RO si Subdiviziunea tarii Cumparatorului (BT-54) este RO-B (corespunzator Municipiului Bucuresti), atunci Localitatea Cumparatorului (BT-52) trebuie sa fie codificata folosind lista de coduri SECTOR-RO. #If the Buyer's country Code (BT-55) is RO and the Buyer's country subdivision (BT-54) is RO-B (corresponding to Bucharest Municipality), then the Buyer city (BT-52) must be coded using the code list SECTOR-RO(SECTOR1, SECTOR2, SECTOR3, SECTOR4, SECTOR5, SECTOR6). Business terms: BT-52, BT-54, BT-55
