I see in the database that it's a 12-character VARCHAR type.

Daresh or any one,

 

Is there any way to change it to 13 or 14?

 

Thanks

That would probably require changes in the database, and in the admin area. This field is validated and has input field with maxlength="12".

 

Why do you want to extend it?

Hi Daresh,

 

I have 4 different vendors that use 13 and 14 characters in there UPC Number. I would like to use them for the sites.

I see, so the only option is to go through the shop code, find every spot where this is set to 12, and change that limit to 14.

Do you know where the most spots are where it is set to 12?

I'm afraid I don't. That would require some more searching through the code.
