Symptoms

Find when format a payment batch with German International payment format (JEDEDEFI) and one or more of the Supplier Name, Supplier Site Name or Supplier Site Address Fields contain
ampersand "&", asterisk "*", dollar sign "$" or percent sign "%"
The file will contain these characters and the bank reject the file

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
Expect the format to replace the not permitted characters so the bank can accept the file even
when Supplier Name, Supplier Site Name or Supplier Site Address Fields contain
ampersand "&" X’50’
asterisk "*" X'5C'
dollar sign "$" X'5B'
percent sign "%" X'6C'

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1.Create Suppliers containing in Supplier Name, Supplier Site Name or Supplier Site Address
Fields an ampersand "&" .
2. Create a invoice for this supplier
3. Create a payment batch including this supplier / invoice and format with German International
payment format
4. Send the file to the bank, the bank will reject the file due to the invalid character

Due to this issue, users cannot create payment batches and get them processed by bank if one of
the suppliers contains one of the special characters.
