3670020 - Error "Enter a text with a maximum of 15 characters and spaces" when updating Country/Region field in app Manage Banks Master Data - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • Not able to update Country/Region field in app Manage Banks Master Data.
  • System throws a character limitation error when attempting to enter Country/Region field.
  • Error "Enter a text with a maximum of 15 characters and spaces" when updating Country/Region field.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the app Manage Banks - Master Data in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
  2. Select the country code AE from the dropdown provided by standard SAP.
  3. Observe that the system throws a character limitation error.

Cause

The country/region field has a maximum length restriction of 15 characters.

Resolution

1. Check Country-Specific Configuration:

  • Access Set Country-Specific Checks (Activity ID: SSCUI 102592).
  • Select the relevant country code (e.g., AE for United Arab Emirates).
  • Review the field specifications for bank-related fields.
  • Check if the country description field length can be increased.

2. Use Country Code Instead of Full Name:

  • If the full country name exceeds 15 characters, use the standard 2-character ISO country code (e.g., "AE" for United Arab Emirates).
  • This approach ensures compliance with the character limit while maintaining data accuracy.
