How to change the date format in ESS application?

[Former Member]

Hello all,

We have implemented ess on portal 7.0 and backend system is ecc 6.0. We are getting the date format in the ess hr applications ( e.g fields date from / date to in leave request, period from/period to in clock in/out corrections application) in the format MM/DD/YYYY we need the date in the format DD/MM/YYYY. Where we can change the date format?

Thanking you

Regards

Hi,

Please change the language of the Portal user in the identity management to English UK. Also change the Language to English UK in the JCo connections.

Thanks and Regards,

Thanks Gauri for the answer.

If the ess users are multilingual (multinational) users then what should be done ?

You can also do it this way:

System Administration - > System Configuration -> Knowledge Mgmt -> content Mgmt->Global Services->Property Metadata->properties-> (set Advanced mode) Additional Metadata Column

Restart for taking effect

Hi Rejendra,

I had the same problem and I changed two fields in SU01. Format Country to GB and Communication Language to English and this changed the date format from MMDDYYYY to DDMMYYYY.

Change yours and see what other effects these settings have if your worried about multinational users.
