Sometimes, it happens we need to insert description for particular line in any transaction using import template and the standard just allows limited text in line text entry like for around 194 characters. We can increase this number of characters by doing few changes in import/export template of that particular transaction.
Consider example for a sales invoice transaction and template as shownbelow :
Navigation to All -> Setup -> Usage -> Import/Export templates
Select “SIH” as template code
Consider the sample text for line text entry
Sample text :The youth who got that must have felt as if he were perusing a railroad time-table. Good mental exercise Never, never use that argument. To cause your reader or correspondent unnecessary mental labor is the greatest of all blunders in business English. The more patience he spends in getting at your thought, the less he will have for your proposition. Let us turn that alleged sentence into a paragraph. There are several versions that might be made. Here is one.I have your inquiry of June ninth. You ask first about the stenographer and type-writer examinations next spring. [Here let him answer that inquiry. You inquire also as to local appointments in connection with the conducting of Civil Service examinations. The route examinations are conducted by the various district secretaries. The others are held at the different places of examination by post-office employees
If we import from standard template we will be able to see below number of characters in Line text entry as shown in screenshot below
Out of 865 characters the file got imported with only 194 characters in length.
How to increase number of characters :
Navigate to All -> Setup -> Usage -> import/export template
Select the template, here “SIH” is the template code as shown in below screenshots.
Go to fields section, you will be able to see Line text fields as shown below
