Hi Andrew

I have a client complaining vociferously about the same issue - they do government contract work and the government PO's are 18 characters. The problem with the optional field idea (although it is what I suggested) is that it doesn't pass through to the customer's AR account and so it doesn't appear on customer statements.

If we could select the OE reference field AND the OE optional field, trimmed and combined, to pass through to the AR reference or description field, then the optional field idea would be more workable (although still not ideal).
