Item Serial Number Entry Window Issue

Posted on by 170

Could you please tell me why only 20 characters can be entered on the serial number field of the item serial number entry window? but IV10002 and IV30400 can accept 21 characters serial numbers.

Thanks in advance.

    Yes it is common, you need to look at the table definitions.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Can you please help us these questions?

    Is this common in GP to have a table field that has a character length limit?

    Is there any way to know which fields this is relevant to and which ones it is not?

    The extra character is used for a terminator character.  Some languages require a terminator character in the db to separate fields.   Use ONLY the 20 characters
