How to enter a phone number with an extension?

Posted on by Jonathon Minard

On the Customer Card, I'd like to enter a phone number which has an extension. Typically this would be written like "555-5555 ext. 5.", but Business Central disallows the "ext" portion of that. Is there an alternate standard way to denote an extension number?

Hi, This is standard processing. Although this field is Text type, but the system has an additional judgment.

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.

You can use any other character than a letter to separate them f.ex #.

Letters are not allowed in the phone numbers in Business Central.

I use brackets as text is not allowed i.e. 555-5555 (5)
