What it means
The second address line of the seller (BT-36) must not be longer than 100 characters. Before counting, the check trims spaces at both ends and reduces any run of spaces or line breaks to one space. In UBL the field is the AdditionalStreetName element in the seller's postal address.
Why it matters
This is a Romanian rule for RO e-Factura and it is fatal. The check fails and the file is rejected, so the invoice is not accepted until you correct it and send it again.
How to fix it
In your invoicing software, open your own company details and look at the second address line. Keep only what the address needs, such as the building, floor or unit, and cut notes or repeated text. If the address really is that long, split it between the first and third address lines, then create the e-invoice again.
The rule as published
