What it means
An item attribute is an extra property of a product, such as colour, size or material, given as a name (BT-160) and a value (BT-161). This rule finds a value that is longer than 100 characters. Spaces between words count, but spaces at the start or end are ignored and repeated spaces count as one. It is a rule of the Romanian CIUS-RO specification used for RO e-Factura, and it applies to both invoices and credit notes.
Why it matters
Romania checks every file against its national specification, and this limit is part of it. An attribute value that is too long makes the file fail, so it is rejected and the buyer does not receive it as a valid e-invoice.
How to fix it
Open the line in your invoicing software and look for the product properties, attributes or specifications. Shorten the value that is too long to 100 characters or fewer. If it holds a longer text, move that text to the item description (BT-154) or leave it out.
The rule as published
Numarul maxim permis de caractere pentru Valoarea atributului articolului (BT-161) este 100. #The allowed maximum number of characters for the Item attribute value (BT-161) is 100. Business terms: BT-161
