warning message while creating goods confirmation

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I am getting a warning message while doing goods confirmation in SRM.It says "The use of last 5 characters in field NAME2 is restricted(38 of 40)" .

I have checked, neither the vendor name2 field is of 38 characters nor the plant name2 field is of 38 chars.In fact both the fields are quite short.Then what could be the reason for this warning message ?

The problem is resolved. The warning message was bcoz the name of the organization under which user was assigned was more than 35 chars.

Cheers !

Hi,

In some scenarios, the system only uses the first 35 characters of name fields,of the fields 'Street', 'City', 'District', as well as the first 10 characters of the field 'Search Term 1'.

These cases are:

ALE: the address data can only be transferred with 35 characters (search term 1 only 10 characters) in the case of some ALE message types (IDOC types)forreasonsofcompatibilitywith other releases and components. The message types in questionare:

DEBMAS

CREMAS

DEBCOR

CRECOR

The problems do not occur if the relevant address data in IDOC ADRMAS is sent in each case, together with these message types.

EDI: the address data can only be transferred with 35 characters (search term 1 only 10 characters) with the standard UN/EDIFACT for reasons of compatibility.

Print: addresses are formatted with only 35 characters in some print forms for standard envelope windows. If the address number is in the address output structures, you can output the address fields in full length in forms. (See OSS note 145753 for FI forms.)

Procedure

If you do not want the address data to be truncated in these scenarios, only use the first 35 characters of the name fields, of the fields "Street", "City", "District" or the first 10 characters of the field "Search Term 1" during maintenance, or abbreviate the texts, if necessary.

Effects on Customizing

You can define when this system message is to be issued in accordance with your requirements.

You do this in Customizing as follows: Cross-Application Components -> Bank Directory -> Change Message Control.

The application area and message number can be taken from the technical documentation.

Regards,

Sheetal.

Hello,

Is it a R/3 or a SRM message ?

Check by using T100 table in both environments.

After this, do a where-used for this number message to know where it is raised and which tests are done.

You could also check that no space was added in field NAME2.

Regards.

Laurent.
