1. Go to Supplier Base workcenter
2. Go to Suppliers view
3. Select New -> Suppliers From Microsoft Excel
4. Download the Suppliers XML template
5. Fill the details
6. Upload the file using Excel Add-in
7. System throws errors

Some of the characters are not allowed while the data is converted to XML. The XML mapping property of the Microsoft Excel does not allow the char ( ' ) in the code list. The single quote is treated as invalid character.

To overcome the issue, you may use any of the options below:

1. If the single quote ( ‘ ) in the Country code name is replaced with the ( ` ) the upload will work as expected.

2. You may use the List Of Suppliers Template.xlsx which is attached to this document where, the Country Name which is displayed in the excel would be different (code will be same), however when it is uploaded into the system the Country Name will be stored as expected.

You may refer the blog Office/Excel Integration for Hybris Cloud for Customers and Business ByDesign FAQs for the details.
