What it means
The buyer's trading name (BT-45) is the name the buyer 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 buyer. Leading and trailing spaces are ignored and repeated spaces count once.
Why it matters
The trading name helps the buyer's staff recognise who the invoice is for. 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 the customer's record 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 the customer has no separate trading name, leave the field empty.
