The use of special characters in the Event Name field of a Strategic Sourcing Event is causing problems with event attachments.
The event processes okay when it is posted but causes problems later when the buyer needs to delete an attachment or tries to open an attachment during the analyze bids process.
As we work to correct this issue, do not use special characters in the Event Name field or in the file name of any attachment to an event. These are unrecoverable errors that require cancelling the event and creating a new one.
Special characters that may cause problems include the period, comma, colon, semicolon, ampersand, and pound.
