We've encountered this problem as well; now that we are using multiple JobBOSS databases for our different business locations, we would like to be able to use a prefix or suffix to identify where documents are from and also, to code for cross-reference with some of our larger accounts. We find the 8 characters extremely limiting; the customers we work with that require electronic invoicing, have a 16 character field size.
Really? 8 characters? When JB was designed, that might have been considered enough, but then again, my first computer had a whopping 64 kilobytes of RAM. That was fine for DOS.
Things change. Give us expanded Invoice numbers, PO numbers, Job numbers, Material IDs and descriptions.....
