When entering new items into the INVENTORY module you should be allowed AT LEAST 25 characters. 15 characters is WAY TO SHORT. We were told when we got this upgrade we would be allowed an unlimited number of characters, BUT IT'S STILL ONLY SET AT 15 CHARACTERS. VERY disappointing!

Versions 4.4 and 4.5 do allow a choice of 15 or 30 characters but not unlimited. This is handled by a setting in Common Information > Setup > Common Information Setup. I would suggest discussing some of the new features with your reseller.
I don't know who told you an "unlimited" number of characters but that is NOT correct information. 15 or 30.
Who is doing your upgrade?
There is a 30 character option, but we were told once that is set in place it can't be reversed. If you choose 30, make sure all your forms when printed out, support the view for the larger space, and are not cut off.
I totally agree ... 15 is to short and changing to 30 is not reversible and also very complicated. Same is true for ITEM DESCRIPTION. way to short. we always have to abbreviate. Just add few characters to Item coded and descriptions. Many users have requested this in different ways but Sage is not taking any action on this. one request under "Eliminate Extended Descriptions, Increase description field" with over 177 votes and still no action by sage... exactly how many voted does a subject has to get before something is done?
