What it means
The free text that explains the payment method (BT-82) must not be longer than 100 characters. In UBL it is the name attribute on the payment means code, and the check applies to every payment means block in the file. The code itself (BT-81) is not what is counted.
Why it matters
This is a Romanian rule for RO e-Factura and it is fatal. The check fails and the file is rejected until the text is shortened.
How to fix it
In your invoicing software, look for the payment method or payment means description on the invoice. Shorten it to a few words, such as 'Bank transfer', or clear it, because the payment means code stays in the file either way. Move longer payment instructions into the payment terms.
The rule as published
Numarul maxim permis de caractere pentru Explicatii privind instrumentul de plata (BT-82) este 100. #The allowed maximum number of characters for the Payment means text (BT-82) is 100. Business terms: BT-82
