Under Main Menu / Service Management / Maintenance Management / Setup / Equipment location in Kinetic UX only allows 8 characters. Why can you not type more when your location is larger than 8 characters. Is there a way to increase the size from 8 to 12 characters?
Mike,
Extended Property Maintenance is useful for expanding integer fields, but I don’t believe it can increase field length if the underlying database field is too small.
If you look at the field using Field Help - Technical Details, does it show x(8)? If that’s the case, I think you’re stuck… It’s trivial for Epicor to increase the field length in an update, though. You could create an IDEAS suggestion, and if enough people vote, Epicor will add it in a future release. I did a suggestion like that, and it was approved… Hope this helps!
Thank you very much for the information. I will check it out now.
The 8 characters is just the ID. The description is longer (I didn’t check the limit, TBH).
It displays the description in Equipment Maintenance.
