How many characters for vendor name

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am using NAV 2016.  When I print checks it always cuts off part of the vendor name because it must only print around 30 characters.  Is there a way to get around this so the complete name in the vendor card prints on the check?

    Is it standard report or customized?

    You need to modify the report. Open the report in layout and incrase the width of textbox or set cangrow propery to true

    Hi,

    You need to either go to your base table i.e. table 23 vendor and increase the length of the name field according to your requirement or you have to go to your report and open the layout by going to the properties of the report-Increase the width of the textbox which prints the vendor name or set can grow property of the textbox to true. Or maybe there is an issue with the size of your report. So you can check whether body width+right and left margins= page width and body length+header height+footer height+top and bottom margins=page height.
