3780352 - Functional Correctness in Name Fields of CDS Views I_Customer and I_Supplier

The values in the CustomerName field of CDS view I_Customer and the SupplierName field of CDS view I_Supplier are truncated in certain cases.

• For Business Partners of category Person or Organization, the name gets truncated when either the organization Name1 or Name2 exceeds the length of 35 characters.
• Specifically for Business Partners of category Person, the current logic derives the CustomerName/SupplierName by concatenating only the First Name and Last Name; the titles/prefixes, if maintained, are not included, so the displayed name may be incomplete.

Currently, the data source of CustomerName/SupplierName is 35 characters long, but during data maintenance, it is allowed to maintain 40 characters. As a result, if the name fields are maintained with more than 35 characters, truncation of the last few characters can be observed.

Starting with the 2608 CE release, the data sources of CustomerName/SupplierName are corrected to reflect the following behavior:

• For Business Partners of category Organization there will be no truncation. The only exception is when both Name1 and Name2 are maintained with the fullest length of 40 characters each, in which case at most the last character of Name2 may be truncated.
• For Business Partners of category Person the logic now includes additional name components, such as the Academic Titles, Prefixes etc ensuring that the name is displayed correctly.
  
  Example: If BP has First Name: "Stéphanie Marie", Last Name: "Elisabeth Grimaldi", Academic Title 1: "Prof. Dr." then the I_Customer~CustomerName & I_Supplier~SupplierName will be "Prof. Dr. Stéphanie Marie Elisabeth Grimaldi".
