Trim AP Invoice Number length

How to restrict AP Invoice Number length

Content

Hello Gurus,

We have a payment process agreement with a third party vendor. There we have a limitation while processing the payments.

We would like suggestions on how to restrict Payables Invoice Number length to 30 characters.

We tried creating a custom Hold. But Create Accounting program which is scheduled to run @ every 30 mins. is accounting the invoice even though it is in custom hold. Once Invoice is accounted, we are unable to change the Invoice Number which is creating an issue while processing payments.

All your inputs on this requirement is much appreciated.
