Can we have item codes longer than 20 chars, e.g., 30 chars. We can do that by register redefinition in HAL. Will they index correctly?

Hi Aldevinas,

Increasing length of a string field (in this case it is M4Code) is OK to do.

If ArtCode is increased in INVc definition to more than 20 characters, I presume it must be changed to the same length in every other register which has an item field?

Hi Paul,

This is correct. It is very big change so I would personally advise against it.

Best Regards,
