Hello group,
I need to put this to bed once and for all: are extended set characters such
as French accents acceptable (re: allowed, permitted) in EDI transactions or
not?? Are they acceptable within the 'standards'?
I have worked with half a dozen or so EDI translators and have always had
trouble in accepting these characters. For the most part they cannot process
these characters and will return 'bad EDI' error. As a rule, I've always
insisted that my partners avoid sending these characters within a
transactions, namely in product descriptions or address lines and I've also
ensured that I don't send any out either. Many ERP's can't handle these
accents either. Not sending any simply keeps thing simple on both ends.
So are they allowed or not?
Thanks.
