Is this sentence grammatically correct?

It is not only a letter 'R' missed in the reference mentioned on the order but all the reference and description in the order do not match the speciation forwarded. They need to be changed as per the specification.

Some flaws here, but mostly it needs to be taken out of the passive tense. This sounds like a reply to someone who says that a letter is missing. If that is correct, I would say: You mentioned that a letter ("R") is missing in one of the references on the order, but it is not just that.
