When you create a new Tax Area with the description > 30 characters, and you go to print the Purchase Invoice, we get the following error message: "The length of the string is 31, but it must be less than or equal to 30 characters.

This is the same error that we used to get with NAV.

When entering the description for the Tax Area, it will let you enter more than 30 characters. When setting this up, I think it should at least warn you that the number of characters is greater than 30. Then when you go to print the Purchase Invoice, you get this error, on the back end. So in the instructions that I wrote up to create a Tax Area, I have a warning to make sure the description is greater than 30 characters. You shouldn't have to count all of the characters and spaces, to make sure it is 30 characters or less. A warning when creating the Tax Area would be much better.
