.EFT File Error - Code: 1013 | Description: Illegal characters found: " -" in Field 'T1_ORI' 1.8.1.1 |
If you are uploading an .EFT File and see this error - Code: 1013 | Description: Illegal characters found: " -" in Field 'T1_ORI' 1.8.1.1 | (see below). In order to fix this error, you need to be able to edit the .EFT File to update field 1.8.1.1 ORI Field to correct the ORI within the .EFT File. With this error the ORI included a hyphen "-" within the ORI field. To fix this issue the "-" within the ORI field needs to be removed, WVATF0800 ATF-NATL TRA CTR was corrected to WVATF0800. However, typically the ORI field for .EFT Files uses the ORI - ATFSimple for tax stamp applications. This will fix error Code: 1013 | Description: Illegal characters found: " -" in Field 'T1_ORI' 1.8.1.1.
