    It looks like a standard problem. You can try removing the '()' to see if the problem still exists.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    The system doesn't like symbols in code fields. Rename the item no. to remove the () and it will work.

    not sure if you get the error when trying to import the boms into BC, but as experts commented, you need to clean up the data before bringing it in.
