Hello,

    Hi Sandip,

    Mariano is absolutely right, and I just experienced the problem in GP with the PO module where a user had copy/pasted a Vendor Name from somewhere into the requisition and though GP accepted it without saying a word, when our purchasing dept wanted to run a smart-list and export the result to Excel it would always fail... and I spent about 3 hrs searching from where the bad data was coming (though about 300 lines of export) and fix the problem..

    See more about it on this blog post :

    Dynamics GP will only support the standard ASCII  characters in text boxes and fields. There's no support for Unicode characters.
