Invoices containing a tax ID from outside the country and international addresses are not accepted for upload to SPV.
The "Buyer has no address set" error
This error appears because the client's address is incomplete. Note the distinction:
Client in Romania: fill in the full address — street, city, county, country. Check all four from the start, not just the field named in the message: validation stops at the first field that is wrong or empty, so if you fix only that one, you will get the next error on another field when you re-upload. For Bucharest, the city must be the sector (SECTOR1 … SECTOR6); if you write "București", Ebriza converts it on its own, but the English form "Bucharest" is not converted and is rejected by ANAF. Fix the address on the order, in the "Address details" block, not just in the Clients menu — the invoice is built from the client's data as of the order date. For company clients, make sure both the billing and the delivery address are set (if you add a single address, it automatically serves as both). After the correction, re-upload the invoice to SPV. The full explanation, field by field, is in the article "Invoices not validated by ANAF".
Client outside Romania: the international address cannot be entered, and the invoice does not need to be uploaded to SPV. The error does not apply to this case — the invoice is declared only in the VAT return.
The same applies in reverse: invoices received from suppliers outside Romania
The rule works both ways. S.P.V. only receives invoices issued by companies that are fiscally registered in Romania, so invoices you receive from a supplier in another country will not appear in S.P.V. and cannot be downloaded from there, including by using the “Download invoices from S.P.V.” button in the Costs menu.
An invoice from a foreign supplier must be entered manually from the Costs menu, using the “+” button, with the amounts converted into RON using the exchange rate applicable on the invoice issue date. The complete steps are described in the “Adding invoices in Costs” article, in the “Invoices from foreign suppliers and invoices in foreign currency (EUR)” section.
Voiding and reissuing these invoices
Because the invoice is not uploaded to the S.P.V., it does not wait for any response from the Tax Authority. You can normally use the “Void invoice” button and the “Issue invoice” / “Issue a new invoice” buttons for the respective order. The message “The Last Invoice must be successfully uploaded to the Tax Authority before creating a new Invoice.” no longer applies to these invoices.
If you click “Issue a new invoice” immediately after voiding and still see the message, it only means that the void invoice has just been created and does not yet have its own status in the S.P.V. column. This is resolved during the next automatic upload or immediately if you click the upload arrow on the void invoice row in the S.P.V. column and confirm.
