    Hi Rahul

    I would recommend not to increase the numbers of the characters even though you can. (there is a nice description on MS docs if you want to have a look.)

    that is because if you give your users 150 characters they will ask for 200 in 3 month time and then probably for 250 in 6 months...

    can your finance users agree on some defaults that they regularly use and that allows them an easy and consistent filtering of the records?

    example: trvexp for travel expense, offsupp for office supplies, etc

    i find using default and clearly specified abbreviations better than allowing users entering whatever they want. for that purpose we have the document attachments where they can add notes, comments, etc

    best regards

    Hi Blue Wang.

    Thanks for your prompt reply.

    I am worried to change EDT because EDT is using number of places.

    If i change EDT will effect all places.

    Is there any side effect?

    Thanks & Regards

    Rahul.

    HI Rahul.p.

    EDT?

    You can try to create new EDT extension and extends original EDT.
