TaskNotes
Prevent unicode entries by users of the web kiosks.

10/23/15:

QB webconnect (3rd party; won't likely change) rejects any transactions with unicode characters such as an "ñ". Failed transaction keeps trying to succeed and thus get continually rejected forever. And that's a sad state for anyone, even a lowly transaction. (smile)

Results in a loss of revenue, but has only happened once so far.

Proposed solution: Convert (via library look-up) or strip out (if not found in library) all unicode characters within the the web app before transaction is sent to QuickBooks.

Example: Oct 3, 2014, 3:22pm, $31.99: ñ in Abruña

Determine how and why email to GORGES being sent by the system. 

10/2015 (exact date?) Only detected because CU email was temporarily being blocked by GORGES. Otherwise function is not noticable by Chemistry.

Next step, if approved: Singlebrook: 1 "story" (1-3 hours) to find and characterize purpose and change options.

With that info in hand, then decide if it's worth paying to make any changes.
