The SAS Financial Management jobs and stored processes might fail with an error when you import data that contains MBCS characters.

For example, the following error might occur when you run the fm_2400_import_data_validation_rules job:

ERROR: loadDataValidationRules() - u: - Error loading data validation rules for model code:
LisaModel1, com.sas.solutions.finance.models.FinanceServerException: dataValidationRuleDTOs can't be null or 
empty 08-30 09:48:48,126 [Thread-0][ERROR DataValidationRulesLoad] - loadDataValidationRules()
- u: - Error loading data validation rules for model code: LisaModel1,
com.sas.solutions.finance.models.FinanceServerException: dataValidationRuleDTOs
can't be null or empty com.sas.solutions.finance.models.
FinanceClientException:com.sas.solutions.finance.models.FinanceServerException:
