0056·The buyer is not registered in the steel sector

Buyer & seller identityOccasional

What this means

FBR checks the buyer's sector, not just their registration status. This is unusual — most validations care only that the buyer exists and is registered.

Why it happens

  • The buyer is registered but in a different sector.
  • Verification checked registration status only, which passes while the sector check fails.

How to fix it

  1. 1Confirm the buyer's sector registration before using this sale type.
  2. 2Where they are not in the steel sector, a different sale type applies.

How Ordyoo handles this

Ordyoo surfaces the specific rejection rather than a generic failure, since the distinction between registration and sector registration is not otherwise visible.
