SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer 1711 and higher.

1. Logon to your system in Hebrew language;
2. Go to the Business Configuration work center, in Overview view;
3. Search for Migration of Opportunities and open the activity;
4. Click on Migrate Opportunities using migration tool;
5. Click on You Can Also, then Download Migration Template;
6. Open the downloaded migration template with Excel and see the error message.

The error message in Excel occurs, due to a Hebrew character that looks like double quotes, in the title of the worksheet "Item Revenue Schedule". This character is not recognized by Excel and it acts like a double quote, changing the XML tag format, thus making Excel unable to understand the worksheet name.

This is a limitation from Microsoft Excel with Hebrew language. It can be solved by removing the additional double quote character from the worksheet name, following the steps below:

1. To access the XML code from the migration template, you can open it using Notepad++;
2. After opening the template in Notepad++, search for  <Worksheet ss:Name="לו"ז הכנסות של פריט" ss:Protected="1">;
3. Remove the second double quote from the searched line;
4. Save the template and then open it using Excel.
