VALIDATION_ERROR:packagedetails:Package Description must be less than 50 characters [Solution]

When processing, you might come across the "VALIDATION_ERROR:packagedetails:Package Description must be less than 50 characters" error.

Some services require a description when packaging. This information can either be completed at an Order level as well as set by default in the Client level to avoid having to handle it at an Order level every time it is required.

This field has a DHL Global Mail restriction of a maximum of 50 characters.

Feel free to follow this video guide, or the step-by-step procedure below.
