3419753 - Error Value is Longer Than the Maximum Permitted Length 10

Symptom

You have a Point-of-Sales integration with SAP Business ByDesign which is coming in error due to the size of the ExternalID.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Application and User Management work center.
  2. Select the Business Communication Monitoring view.
  3. Select the line for Business Document: Point-of-Sale Transaction.
  4. Navigate to the Message Details tab.

Error: Value is longer than the maximum permitted length 10.

Resolution

This is the expected system behavior. 

The field ExternalID for the Point-of-Sales transaction was designed to receive a limit of 10 or less characters only.
