What it means
The telephone number of the buyer's contact (BT-57) must not be longer than 100 characters. Spaces count, but extra spaces at either end and repeated spaces are ignored. In UBL it is the Telephone element in the buyer'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 number is shortened.
How to fix it
In your invoicing software, open the customer's record (the buyer) and look at the contact phone number. A value this long is usually several numbers in one field, or a number followed by notes. Keep the main number only, then create the e-invoice again.
The rule as published
