BR-RO-202: Delivery in Bucharest must use a sector code as the city

In short

BR-RO-202 means the delivery address is in Romania with county RO-B (Bucharest), but the city is not one of the six sector codes. Fix it by entering the city as SECTOR1, SECTOR2, SECTOR3, SECTOR4, SECTOR5 or SECTOR6.

What it means

When the delivery address has country code RO (BT-80) and county (country subdivision, BT-79) RO-B, the delivery city (BT-77) 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 delivery address, 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 delivery 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 de livrare (BT-80) este RO si Subdiviziunea tarii de livrare (BT-79) este "RO-B" (corespunzator Municipiului Bucuresti), atunci Localitatea de livrare (BT-77) trebuie sa fie codificata folosind lista de coduri SECTOR-RO. #If the Delivery to country code (BT-80) is RO and the Delivery to country subdivision (BT-79) is "RO-B" (corresponding to Bucharest Municipality), then the Delivery to city(BT-77) must be coded using the code list SECTOR-RO(SECTOR1, SECTOR2, SECTOR3, SECTOR4, SECTOR5, SECTOR6).

Business terms: BT-77, BT-79, BT-80
