# How Do I Prevent Lasernet Interpreting #compliant# in a Peppol XML Form as JobInfo Substitution?

**Applies to:** Lasernet Core 10

The `cbc:CustomizationID` element within Peppol BIS XML contains `#compliant#` within its value: `urn:cen.eu:en16931:2017#compliant#urn:fdc:peppol.eu:2017:poacc:billing:3.0`. However, Lasernet interprets `#compliant#` as JobInfo substitution syntax and attempts to insert a nonexistent JobInfo.

To prevent Lasernet from doing this, you must use the ¤ symbol (generic currency symbol; ASCII character 164; shortcut Alt+0164 on the numeric keyboard) as an escape character for the first # character. Alternatively, you can insert a special character into the `#compliant#` text (to prevent JobInfo substitution from happening) and then filter out that special character from the output XML.

The following sections describes these methods.

## Use the ¤ Symbol

You can modify the XML template, or if a rearrange inserts the `cbc:CustomizationID` element value from the input data, you can add a script to the rearrange to appropriately insert the ¤ symbol.

### Modify the XML Template

This method involves adding the ¤ symbol before the first # character in the XML template.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the `cbc:CustomizationID` element value in the output side of the form, then click **Properties**.

2. In the **Default Value** box, insert the ¤ symbol in front of the first # character (see 1 in the image below).

3. Select **Use default value if no rearrange data is provided** (2).
4. Click **Ok**.

The output XML contains `#compliant#`.

### Add a Script to the Relevant Rearrange

If a rearrange inserts the `cbc:CustomizationID` element value from the input data, you can add a script to the rearrange.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Add the following script to the Lasernet configuration:

```javascript
function InsertSunsignBeforeHashmark()
{ 
    var peppoltext = CurrentText; 
    peppoltext = peppoltext.replace("#","¤#"); 
    return peppoltext; 
}
```
2. Use the script in the rearrange.

The output XML contains `#compliant#`.

## Insert a Special Character to Prevent JobInfo Substitution and Then Filter It Out

Instead of escaping a # character, you can add a - (hyphen) within the `#compliant#` text to render it invalid for JobInfo substitution and prevent Lasernet from attempting to substitute it. Then, you can use a Text Filter modifier to remove the hyphen from the output XML.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. In the XML template, add a hyphen to change the text to `#comp-liant#`.

2. Add a text filter modifier to the output module to replace `comp-liant` with `compliant`.
