Special Characters

Has anyone experienced issues when using special characters in any of these applications? We are concerned if special characters in the codes or names will impact us interfacing to outside vendors or data being passed to other INFOR systems.  Read More...
Thanks for your continued support of the LawsonGuru Letter and LawsonGuru.com.

 

Sincerely,
