  • 1.  Sage address lines too short

    Posted 05-21-2019 18:08
    EDI Orders from some of our client's customers are starting to come in with address lines greater than 30 characters.  This is causing the orders to fail. Anyone seen any enhancements for expanding the address line sizes?

    Sage has no plans to expand those fields as they have provided 3 lines for Address information.  A MOD may be needed to change that.  If you submit to Sage they will treat as enhancement and then you will see it in 50 years.

    Sage is looking at it for international addresses, as some of us have reviewed what they had as concepts, but exact when (or if) that would be rolled out is a good question.  Suggesting it or upvoting the suggestion is an excellent idea.

    I believe I had to use UDF's for one customer.  A common problem for us was missing codes from Zip Code maintenance.  EDI data is pushed into a UDF, and simple column post validate script copied from there to the Sage field... then we have an automated alert for when the UDF doesn't match the Sage field (i.e. a missing Zip code). If you're in a rush for a solution, I expect something similar would work for you (with a checkbox to silence the alert, once someone has manually fixed the address).

    I have also heard that Sage is looking at this expansion (maybe at MOTM this year), but it certainly doesn't help Alan.  

    @Carmen Cruz - Too funny.  Tell us what you really think.​​

    In working with TrueCommerce it appears they have a workaround using lookup tables on their end that eliminate the need for us to create UDF's in Sage which is what our initial approach was going to be.
