What it means
The seller's trading name (BT-28) is the name the seller is known by when that differs from its registered name. It may be at most 200 characters in the Romanian rule set for RO e-Factura (CIUS-RO). In the UBL file this is Name inside PartyName of the seller. Leading and trailing spaces are ignored and repeated spaces count once.
Why it matters
The trading name helps the buyer recognise the seller. This is a fatal rule, so RO e-Factura rejects the invoice and you have to send a corrected file.
How to fix it
Open your own company details in your invoicing software and look for a trading name, brand name or business name field. Keep only the name itself and remove any description or address. If you do not trade under a different name, leave the field empty.
