Seven characters is not enough.

Comments

  • How many characters would be enough?

  • I think this should be increased to same length as the customer number field which I beleive is now 20. Some of the vendors we deal with are also customers and we would like to use a consistent ID number which would require the added length.

  • We need a larger number to allow integration with another system that has a larger vendor (account) number.

  • Yes, an increase is most definitely needed. I hoped that when the AR customer number field was increased AP would be too but unfortunately it wasn't. It gets difficult to be creative in account names that are easy to understand when you have seven characters available and many vendors accounts that start with City, First, Tech, West and etc.

  • Totally agree. Unable to explore possibility in interfacing patient refund requests into AP from our revenue cycle system because current vendor no field length cannot accommodate the patient's account number and last name. This would be a great productivity enhancement.

  • Not sure why it's different from Customer No. in AR but the Vendor No. should match. Definitely needs increased.

  • Why is this taking so long. This seems strange seeing AR_Customer is up to 20 but this is stuck in the dark ages at 7.

  • Vendor No. field should be same length as Customer No. field, 20 AlphaNumeric
