Invoice verification against Bill of lading number in Inbound Delivery

[dr]

Dear experts, system is allowing to post Invoice Document against Bill of Lading number only for 16 digits.

But, user has created the Inbound Delivery (VL31/VL32N) with Bill of Lading number with 25 digits (System allowing to enter Bill Of Lading number up to 35 digits).

How to resolve this issue? Can we increase the field length of Bill of Lading in MIRO and MIGO screen?

Or do we need to request the user to follow it as compliance entering the Bill of lading as only 16 digits at the time Inbound Delivery (VL31N) or GRN creation (MIGO)? But still why in VL31N & VL32N, it is allowing to enter up to 35 digits for BillOfLad.

Option there for maximum facilities but to limit as further process in MIRO allowed with limited fields else developing MIRO screen again challenging but not advisable.

What's the reason that SAP allowed to enter up to 35 characters in VL31N/VL32N, but in MIGO / MIRO system allowing to enter only 16 characters for Bill of Lading field. Why it is designed like this?

User requesting to make uniform characters in both the places. Please help me on this issue.
