What it means
The email address of the seller's contact (BT-43) must not be longer than 100 characters. Extra spaces at either end and repeated spaces are ignored before counting. In UBL it is the ElectronicMail element in the seller's contact details.
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 the email field is corrected.
How to fix it
In your invoicing software, open your own company details and look at the contact email address. An email address over 100 characters is usually a list of several addresses or a name written around the address. Keep the one address the buyer should write to, then create the e-invoice again.
The rule as published
