re: 1237 & 1238
Hi, Margaret,
Like other SAP users, we have many employees with ' and # in their names and addresses. It appears that SAP suppresses the special characters for submission of W2 data to the IRS, as well as to various states and municipalities, since we have never addressed it, yet we have no rejections.
I can't imagine trying to clean this data at this late date; furthermore it would be ineffectual since employees update their personal info in ESS all the time. Unless SAP locks down the ability to enter special characters in pertinent fields no data clean up will ever be enough.
Can SAP provide that same standard code in a note to suppress the invalid characters for the ACA program, rather than have all of the SAP customers try to write something custom?
Thanks,
Debbie B
