RO-R-004:RON conversion may be required
Romanian tax reporting requires RON amounts.
Engine Classification
Financial or legal field · Modification blocked by policy
Reason: Romanian tax reporting requires amounts in RON (Romanian Leu). Converting from foreign currency requires recalculating all amounts at the appropriate BNR (National Bank of Romania) exchange rate. This financial calculation cannot be automated safely. Issue the invoice in RON from your source system, or include RON equivalents per Romanian regulations.
What is RO-R-004?
RO-R-004 is a warning validation rule defined in the ubl-2.1 specification (ROU national rules). It validates the DocumentCurrencyCode element under Invoice in the UBL invoice XML.
This is a soft validation failure. The invoice may pass initial transmission, but non-compliant values in this field can cause problems during tax audits, buyer-side processing, or downstream VAT reconciliation.

Why This Error Matters
Tax reported in Romanian leu.
RO-R-004 is a soft failure. The invoice may pass initial validation, but the non-compliant field can cause issues at the receiving end — tax authorities may flag it during audits, buyer ERP systems may fail to process it, or VAT reconciliation may produce mismatches. Fixing warnings before they accumulate prevents larger compliance gaps.
