Some fields in Sage50 are subject to character limitations set by Sage. Exceeding these limits can lead to records failing. To mitigate this, we've implemented truncation on certain fields. This means that data will be trimmed when displayed in your accounting package. You'll notice three periods in Sage50 where this has been implemented.
