ESS/MSS Travel and Expenses: Format of dates and hours

Former Member

Hello,

I'm currently working on Travel&Expense part of Employee Self-Service.

In every forms in the application, dates and hours are displayed using US formats (MM/DD/YYYY +AM/PM hour format)

I would like to use another format, European format for example (DD.MM.YYYY and 24 hours format for hours)

My back-end user has the correct (European) format defined in the default parameters.

Does anyone know where Travel&Expense ESS is looking for when determining user formats?

Thanks,

Laurent

User preferences were correctly set in SU01 but it doesn't seem to impact ESS application...

Hi,

You can set the date format to UK in 3 ways

1) set the portal language to UK (In portal-> tools->languages)

2) set the portal user language settings in portal UME,

3) if the portal UME is mapped to ABAP database, then u can make this setting in su03 of that user

4) changing the JCo language

IF not happen from these 4 options then

You need to convert that by changing the webdynpro code was the only option I found.

Hi,

You can do it ..

In the SAP go to T-code "SU01" give the user -ID (for which you need to set European format dates and hours .)

Then click up on "change '

Click up on "Default" tab at that screen you can find the option "Date Format" and 'Time Format (12/24h)".

Set that as per your requirement and save it ...and check.
