Product: Dynamics 365 Business Central

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 β†’ (Partner) β†’ Translations β†’ 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
