Why doesn't Lightyear export the entire invoice number to MYOB?

Why doesn't Lightyear export the entire invoice number to MYOB?

You may notice if you receive a bill with a particularly long invoice number that it isn't showing fully after being exported to MYOB.

Unfortunately, due to MYOB accepts data from third party apps, including Lighyear, we're only able to export the first 20 characters of an invoice number.

Note, the full invoice number will always be shown in Lightyear.
