Create new date format

[Former Member]

Has anybody created a new date format in SAP? We are on ECC 5.0 and our UK users are asking for their date to be formatted DD/MM/YYYY. The system currently has a DD.MM.YYYY, but that is not how they would like to see the date.

I see the domain "XUDATFM" has 11 date formats defined, in addition to possibly adding the format to this domain, what else would need to be done.

If this is a terrible idea, also please let me know.

If this has been done, please let me know how.

Thank you, Jay

SAP always store the date in YYYYMMDD format in the database..

The date format defined in each user profile is only for their individual viewing purpose.. So the end-user can change the date format from trasaction code - SU3 as his purpose & convenience.. But make sure the user needs to be relogin to see the date in new format..
