3296499 - FPS - Validation of Special Characters

Symptom

The HMRC Government Gateway will only accept certain characters within the FPS file. To reduce the rejections experienced by customers SAP has designed the FPS program to check for and update the most used special characters. This check is made on the following fields:

  • First Name - P0002-VORNA
  • Middle Name - P0002-MIDNM
  • Last Name - P0002-NACHN
  • Street and House number - P0006-STRAS
  • 2nd Address Line - P0006-LOCAT
  • District - P0006-ORT02
  • City - P0006-ORT01
  • Post Code – P006- PSTLZ

 

Below is the list of special characters that will programmatically be changed by the FPS process if identified as incorrectly used (address and postcode lines allow numeric characters) in any of the above fields:
