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

Whatever is done, correct the above offending entry so it can go through. (Don't simply remove it.)!) Presumably correct it by hand, simply replacing the "ñ" with an "n".

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.
