1.  Open the supplier invoice excel
2.  Log in to  ByDesign  add on
3.  Enter the details with custom tax code
4.  Select "save to" on the excel
5.  Error encountered

For the field WithholdingTaxationCharacteristicsCode, in the standard excel template, max length is restricted to 4 char and hence user is getting error on trying to save.

You can check this in the following way:

1. Change the extension of template to .zip instead of .xlsx

2. Unzip it, you will get folder with same name

3. Open xmlmaps.xml file

4. Search for WithholdingTaxationCharacteristicsCode, you can see max length is 4.

Same is applicable for tax code as well .

also you would get same errors while uploading supplier invoice via webservices.

We do not support PDI/custom withholding tax(nomal tax code) with the name being longer than 4 chars in the standard field.

You must change name of custom tax code to a 4 char (or) contact partner to create extension fields and make use of PDI to populate this value in the excel.
