Error - 'Error parsing near ' when submitting an expense

Updated over 3 weeks ago

This error can be caused by a few different things, including corruption on the transaction, or your browser remembering an issue that is no longer present.
​
First of all, please check all detail lines on the Expense to ensure that the Description fields do not contain "<" or ">" characters. These are special characters which are not allowed in text fields due to the security risk typing code would pose.
​
Next, log out of FocalPoint, close the browser, reopen the browser, clear the browser cache and then log back into FocalPoint to try again.
​
If this does not work, please try deleting the Expense altogether and recreating it from scratch which should resolve any corruption on the transaction.
​
If none of the above helps, please raise a new case and reference the title of this article.
