I am trying to print Material Tags from Receipt Entry module. It is throwing me the input string error for some PO’s but for some PO’s its printing good. What could be the problem? I do not have any customization in this module. Kindly help.
I am getting the below error.
Thanks

Make sure there aren’t any odd characters in the Part Desc (or any other field that is included in the print tag). It’s common for someone to copy and paste from a source (website, Word Doc, Excel file, etc…) and pick up some non-supported characters (like control codes, non-breaking spaces, em-dashes, etc…)
Try printing the tag to the standard report style ( the one Epicor provides).
I always leave that one alone (untouched RDD or RDL), to see if print errors are possibly in my RDD or RDL. If the “standard” style prints okay, then you know its in your RDD or RDL.
As I checked, the same part with some PO number is printing and with some PO number it is not printing.
Even in the standard report style is the same error.
But even before choosing the report style this error is coming and once I say ok. it will open the print tag screen without any quantity.
Get the error when not printing with barcodes? Maybe there’s a character that’s not supported by the barcode in use.
Also, try removing defaults on that form. If a user had saved defaults on a print form, and then that report style was removed, you can get a blank or 0 in the report style field.

Cross check the packing slip number, this might have some characters or space which may be a root cause for this.
Compare the same with the one printing correctly.
Thanks Calvin & Prasanth. The problem got resolved. Figured that, due “~” sign in the part description is throwing that error. Removed it and gave the print, it worked good.
Thanks
