SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft BizTalk Adapter 2.0 for mySAP Business Suite to integrate data from a SAP system to Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004, you may receive output schema validation error messages that are similar to the following:

The ' ' element has an invalid value according to its data type.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the SAP schema fields receive special characters such as the slash mark (/) character and the X character. This problem occurs because the BizTalk Adapter for mySAP Business Suite does not handle special characters correctly.

Note The slash mark character indicates that SAP should replace the value with a specific default value. The X character indicates that SAP should mark the corresponding value for deletion.
