Name field in Customer Maintenance is cut short when printing an invoice

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

WHen an invoice is printed the Name in the Bill To section is cut off. Is there a character limit for that field in an invoice?

    Hi Kirk,

    This was the fix that worked. Thank you! We made changes to the size of the fields in the invoice and updated the PAREPT.DIC file on both terminal servers.

    Kirk is right. I don't believe Report Writer has the ability for fields to resize as needed, so any field will only ever be as big as you give it room for explicitly. There is a max of 80 characters, but the customer name is a max of 65 characters, so that should not be an issue.

    If I remember correctly, this field used to be shorter in old version of GP, so it's likely that the reports were not updated for this.

    Jen,

    The field doesn't dynamically resize itself based on content (that I am aware of). If you have exclusive access to the report dictionary you can open the form in report writer and make the field larger.
