Hidden Characters

181 Views

Hi all,

We are doing a DP prototype with BOM forecasting . I created some of the products and PPMs manually in APO

Then I did a flat file load of data .

Here is the problem the flat file contains some hidden characters (especially products) .

This flat file comes from Business Objects .

I created CVCs based on the cube which contains flat file data . i.e, The CVCs contains products with hidden characters .

When I created the products manually I created them without hidden characters .

Because of these inconsistencies I am getting error when I am doing BOM forecasting .

Hidden characters are like spaces but no spaces , you cannot see them .

I will be thankful if you can tell me how to eliminate hidden characters in APO and how to deal with them .

Note : I can create multiple entries Products with same name . One which I manually created with typing in the product name . Another product with name which I copied from the flat file , because I copied from flat file , the name of product contains hidden characters .
