Increase Character limit for Part IDs and Description Fields

We Prefix our part IDs with the Vendor IDs (3 characters), sometimes we add 3 characters to the end of their part IDs to indicate the SKU must be picked in specific qtys.
Several vendors have long part IDs, and their own character count is too high to start with, and adding ours is impossible without garbling theirs.

Not only can we not put their correct part ID in to create POs for them, we cannot properly ID the SKUs for our purposes.

Additionally, the Description1 and Description2 fields are too short also. We end up abbreviating some descriptions of products to the point that it's unintelligible what the thing is.

Longer character counts would help, all around.

The defining character limit should not be "how many capital Ws can we fit in the visible field?"
Which is what looks like was the deciding factor. (I've tested this, is all the fields)
