What it means
The third address line of the buyer (BT-163) must not be longer than 100 characters. Spaces count, but extra spaces at the start or end and repeated spaces are ignored. In UBL it is the Line element inside the address line group of the buyer's postal address.
Why it matters
This is a Romanian rule for RO e-Factura and it is fatal. The file is rejected and the invoice is not accepted until the line is shortened and the e-invoice is sent again.
How to fix it
In your invoicing software, open the customer's record (the buyer) and find the third address line, which may be labelled 'address 3' or 'additional address'. Shorten it to 100 characters or fewer, or clear it if it is not needed. Check that a whole long address was not pasted into this one field.
The rule as published
