[NAV 2013] Expanding a Field Length

bamby2727

We have multiple items ordered from vendors where the vendor item number field isn't long enough to accommodate the data required.

Solution: We need to increase to 30 characters from 20.

As I take a quick glance it looks as though this will touch quite a few tables. Not sure if there is an alternate method that would be recommended or if there is a best practices approach to increasing the field size in NAV 2013. Thoughts?

Thanks in Advance!

Expanding field lengths of standard fields is NOT something you should be considering.

Thanks bbrown most specifically though I was looking for recommendations as in creating a second field perhaps? etc. What is the general consensus when needing to expand data fields.

We just use the description field on the P.O

Thanks rico and bbrown for the responses. will end up just doing that and using the description field.
