Our master vendor list has Vendors that contain 'illegal' characters in their 'Name'.
These are characters that make up the Vendors legal name and need to appear with those characters on Cheque's / EFT Attachments.
These characters also cause the EFT Attachment generation to fail.
We need the ability to change how the filename for EFT attachments is generated, such as using the 'SortName' of the Vendor to generate the filename instead of the 'Name'.

Seconding this...this appears to affect any sort of electronic attachment process. If you have AP Checks set to automatically save the stub during check runs and the system gets to a Vendor with these illegal characters, the attachment generation process fails and does not recover for the rest of the sequences of vendors in the check run. Regardless of whether the vendors after that one has illegal characters or not.
I wouldn't be surprised to see this same issue in other modules where automatic attachment is present.
Big oversight...this is what our organization received from Viewpoint Support when I asked what characters to avoid:
"I found this as a list of illegal characters. I've seen brackets as well, but I'm not finding a key table with illegal characters listed. I hope this helps!
/ ? < > : * | ^ spaces and any special character that can be created using Ctrl key."
