Special characters in material description not going to APO via CIF

Hello Friends,

I have a scenario where ECC material  master contains special character  foot and inches ("). some of the material descriptions have "™." in it for exmaple CUSTOMFIT™.

These special chacters ",™. are passed to APO as '#' in APO in product master once we CIF it.

Is there any setting I can make to make sure  they are appearing correctly in APO ?

Thanks,

Santosh
