No change to the schema. AP tables are set for a 10 digit Alphanumeric field for Refnbr, while the default field mask has been 6 digits on entry screens and a matching default space for that field on most reports. You can change the mask for that field on SL entry screens to display 7 digits instead of 6, and you can widen the refnbr field on reports where necessary to keep the printed refnbr from being truncated on a printout. I found that updating the existing reference numbers and adding a leading "0" to existing reference numbers makes the updated number scheme easier for the customer. Documents will still appear in the correct order when the next AP reference number sequence rolls over from 0999999 to 1000000. Check the MS partner forum for similar discussions.
