Increase character limit for Vendor Reference Number field in the PO Line & accept non alphanumeric characters
We are seeing longer and longer SNAs from vendors for titles. And, since we want to be billed at the title level whenever possible, so that we have the best cost/use data available, we often ask to be billed at the title level.
To do this, the Vendor Reference Number field in the POL needs to be at least 15 characters long. Additionally, it needs to accept hyphens, as many package SNAs have a common root, followed by a hyphen, and then a suffix for the specific title.
The vendor reference number on the PO line can receive numbers – text – and hyphens. In case order are created via a file (EOD) there should be no limit (up to 255 characters) to the length – characters – hyphens. In case the reference number needs to be sent in EDI to the vendor, the length of the string can be up to 30 characters long.
This is supported.

Hi,
Can you elaborate on what the issue is ? Long Vendor reference numbers can be saved on the POL.
Thanks,
