Error: The length of the string is 13, but it must be less than or equal to 10 characters

Issue: When exporting a Purchase Order you receive the error message "The length of the string is 13, but it must be less than or equal to 10 characters"

Reason: Most Trading Partners send a Ship to Code that is longer than what Business Central allows (10)

Solution - Translate the Value

Navigate: Trading Partners → (Partner) → Translations → Address List

Fill Out: EDI Code (Partner Ship To Code) and Bus Sys Code (Business Central Code)

Note: The Address List will Translate your code based on the 'Type' Dropdown. Ensure your Type is set to Store for Ship To Code translations
