RO-R-002:e-Factura submission required
Romanian B2B/B2G invoices must go through e-Factura (SPV).
Engine Classification
Financial or legal field · Modification blocked by policy
Reason: Romanian B2B/B2G invoices must be submitted through e-Factura (SPV - Sistemul Național de Facturare Electronică). This requires API integration with ANAF (Romanian tax authority) and cannot be accomplished by modifying the invoice XML. Use invoicing software with e-Factura integration or submit manually through the SPV portal.
What is RO-R-002?
RO-R-002 is a fatal validation rule defined in the ubl-2.1 specification (ROU national rules). It validates the e-Factura platform integration element in the UBL invoice XML.
When this rule fires, the invoice is non-compliant and will be rejected by Peppol access points and national validation services. The sending system receives a rejection response and the invoice does not reach the buyer.
Target path: e-Factura platform integration
Why This Error Matters
Romanian e-Factura mandatory from 2024.
RO-R-002 is a hard failure. Invoices that trigger this rule are rejected at the access point and never reach the recipient. In Peppol networks, this means your sending system receives an MLR (Message Level Response) with a rejection status. The invoice must be corrected and re-sent, adding delay to your payment cycle.
