"The length of the payment identification incl. check digit in the OCR-line may not exceed 15 characters."

I am trying to generate a project invoice through electronic reporting and am getting this error. Has anyone encountered this before or know what setup I ought to be looking for?

Electronic Reporting - Project Invoice (length of payment identification)

Hi Josh,

found this old post and was wondering whether you managed to fix the warning of "The length of the payment identification incl. check digit in the OCR-line may not exceed 15 characters."

We are encountering the same warning now with the same scenario you referenced.

Best regards,

Lukas

Hi Josh,

Ref. to the error message, it seems that there are several model mapping for project invoice in your GER config.

You can set one of the as default or delete the one that you do not use.

For example, if you use "OIOUBL Project invoice" for sending project invoices electronically, you can set "Invoice model mapping" as 'Default for model mapping'

Hi Josh,

In addition, check LCS for available hotfixes.

There seems to be an issue in older F&O versions.

Best regards,
