The bar character ("|") is utilized by Concur as a common delimiter for extract files. As such, you'll want to prohibit the use of this character in free form entry fields in user's Expense Reports or Invoice Payment Requests in Concur to avoid potential issues when parsing this file for import into Deltek Vision via the Connector. This article shows screen shots of how to setup an audit rule to prevent your users from using this character. These screenshots show an Expense Audit rule, but you can do the same on Invoices or Purchase Orders if you find your user community is fond of using these characters.
1. Under Administration, go to Expense Administration and click on Audit Rules. Create a new rule.
2. On Conditions, ensure that you have selected Business Purpose OR Report Name to prohibit from using the bar character. On Invoice Audit Rules, you would use the Payment Request Name and Description fields.
3. On exceptions, create a new exception message with the text to display.
