it is not possible to increase the field length for the field MARA-BISMT. The defined length for this field is 18.

It would be better to use different field like PO text or basic data text (in additional data) for this requirement and show this text in your printout.

Beside of that, you can define your own custom field with your own length.

you are talking about customer material number in the subject

and about old material code in the content of your question.

These are 2 different things. And how would you consider to put a customer material number into the old material number field in your material master if more than 1 customer has the same requirement for the same material?

In the SD module you can use customer material info record to maintain customer/material specific information which will then be pulled from there into the sales order, and from here to the delivery and invoice.
