3692914 - Vendor/Supplier name exceeds character limit in sap purchasing reports

Supplier name exceeds the 40-character limit of the standard SAP NAME1 field. The full supplier name is not included in the payload and does not print correctly on the Purchase Order (PO) output form.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Review the supplier name in the SAP system.
2. Attempt to generate a Purchase Order (PO) output form with a supplier name exceeding 40 characters.
3. Observe that the supplier name is truncated in the payload and does not print correctly.

Purchasing Reports are based on table LFA1, in which field NAME1 is limited to store 35 characters only. Therefore, the report truncates the vendor name above 35 characters.

Standard behavior, which is a restriction.

Refer to: SAP Note 3159136 - Vendor name is truncated above 35 characters in Purchasing Reports
