What it means
The buyer's post code (BT-53) may be at most 20 characters in the Romanian rule set for RO e-Factura (CIUS-RO). In the UBL file this is PostalZone in the buyer's postal address. Leading and trailing spaces are ignored and repeated spaces count once.
Why it matters
The post code is part of the buyer's address on the invoice. This is a fatal rule, so RO e-Factura rejects the invoice and you have to send a corrected file.
How to fix it
Open the customer's record in your invoicing software and look at the post code field. A value this long usually means the city, the country or part of the street was entered together with the code. Leave only the post code there and put the other details in their own fields.
The rule as published
Numarul maxim permis de caractere pentru Codul postal al Cumparatorului (BT-53) este 20. #The allowed maximum number of characters for the Buyer post code (BT-53) is 20. Business terms: BT-53
