Attribute Length
Several important business object attributes have different standard lengths in Windchill and ERP (see the Attribute Lengths table below). ERP Connector assumes that your business process limits the Windchill attributes to the lengths allowed by ERP. To enforce the length assumptions systematically, systems integrators or customizers can add validation programming logic to Windchill or modify ERP to extend the attribute lengths.
