WO/CCBREQ# IM-1-3924552826
Description This update addresses an issue where special characters were transmitted in the payment reference for Accounts Payable (AP) payments. The House Bank in Mexico cannot accept special characters resulting in AP payments having to be manually repaired in the bank's system. The payment reference in the file is filtered for special characters (",:.#*+-<_()/:'*#>"). Please note that "@'%&?'" are not removed and we do not recommend to use these characters in invoice reference fields, especially for payments to Mexico. Since Special characters get removed, we propose to enter invoices using " " (blank space) as separators.
