How to extend business partner number length

Dear all,

Our legacy business partner number length is 13 digits. But SAP Business Partner max length for business partner is only 10.

Is there any way to cater for that?

thanks

Giang

Hi Giang,

Unfortunately, this is not possible - you cannot extend the length of BP number.

But there's a simpler way - there is a field called BPEXT in BUT000, this is the external BP number, and can store 20 digits.

You can transfer the BP number of legacy system into BPEXT field on the SAP system. This is a standard practice and is used by most people.

Regards,

Rishu.
