What it means
The invoiced object identifier (BT-18) and the supporting document reference (BT-122) are both stored as the identifier of an additional document reference, so the same limit applies to each: at most 200 characters. The test runs for every additional document reference in the file, ignoring spaces at the start and end.
Why it matters
CIUS-RO limits these identifiers to 200 characters and the rule is fatal. RO e-Factura rejects the file, and one long identifier among several is enough to cause it.
How to fix it
Look at the references to supporting documents and objects in your invoicing software, often in a section called attachments, references or additional documents. Shorten any identifier that is more than 200 characters, keeping only the number or code. A file name or a description pasted into the identifier is the usual cause.
The rule as published
Numarul maxim permis de caractere pentru Identificatorul obiectului facturat (BT-18) si Referinta documentului justificativ (BT-122) este 200. #The allowed maximum number of characters for the Invoiced object identifier (BT-18) and the Supporting document reference(BT-122)is 200. Business terms: BT-18, BT-122
