Item Code Length

Question

Hi Experts,
Is there any way to increase the length of Item code(From 20 to 35) in Item master data? If yes than please let me know, how? If this is not possible than please help me to create "Foreign Name" Field Mandatory and unique in Item master data.
Thanks in advance.

There is no possibility to increase the item code. To make it unique and mandatory you should insert this code into the SBO_SP_TransactionNotification stored procedure after the
--     ADD     YOUR     CODE     HERE
line:
If @object_type = '4' and @transaction_type in ( 'A','U')
BEGIN
declare @fn nvarchar(100)
set @fn=(Select isnull(I.FrgnName,'') From OITM I
    Where I.ItemCode=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
If @fn=''
begin
select @error =11
select @error_message = 'You should enter Foreign Name!'
end
else
If exists (Select I.FrgnName From OITM I
    Where I.FrgnName=@fn and I.ItemCode!=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
begin
select @error =12
select @error_message = 'Duplicate Foreign Name!!'
end
END
