Summary
In the April 2019 update there will be an extension to some name and description fields allowing you to pass more information onto your customers and vendors plus more information for your own internal use.
You will be able to enter up to 100 characters in the Description and Name fields across Business Central. In earlier versions, the character limit was 50. This change applies to:
- The Name and Description field on master data cards, such as customer, vendor, item, contact, and resource cards.
- The Name and Description field on documents, such as sales and purchase orders, invoices, and quotes.
- The Description field on journals, such as general journal and item journal.
- The Description field on ledger entries, such as customer, vendor, and item ledger entries.
In addition, you can now enter up to 50 characters in the Unit of Measure Description field. In earlier versions, the character limit was 10.
What does this mean for me?
If you have Business Central online then these updates will appear during April 2019.
