What it means
On each invoice line (BG-25), the buyer's accounting reference (BT-133), such as a cost centre, project or ledger account the buyer wants the cost booked to, must not be longer than 100 characters. Extra spaces at either end and repeated spaces are ignored before counting. In UBL it is the AccountingCost element, and the check applies to credit note lines too.
Why it matters
This is a Romanian rule for RO e-Factura and it is fatal. A reference over the limit makes the check fail, so the file is rejected until it is corrected.
How to fix it
In your invoicing software, open the line and look for a field such as accounting reference, cost centre or project code. Replace the value with the exact reference your customer gave you, and move any description or notes to the line description. Then create the e-invoice again.
The rule as published
