Error Prevention During Codepage Conversion
If non-ASCII characters are entered into a required field, then an error is generated during the codepage conversion. The error is contained in the Error Message field of the integration object. The order will not be stopped by an error, but an employee will have to manually calculate the tax. It is therefore important to:
Generate guidance messages and error messages to prevent customers from entering non-ASCII characters in a required field. A list of required fields is given in the following table.
Only use lists of values that contain ASCII-compliant values.
