BT-32 (Seller tax registration identifier) - For Italian suppliers BT-32 minimum length 11 and maximum length shall be 16. Per i fornitori italiani il BT-32 deve avere una lunghezza tra 11 e 16 caratteri

Why it fails

The Italian seller's tax registration identifier (BT-32) is shorter than 11 or longer than 16 characters.

How to fix it

Send the codice fiscale (16 characters for a natural person) or the partita IVA (11 digits) in BT-32. Note the VAT identifier BT-31 is a different field and carries the IT prefix.
