Purchase Orders - Document Date Format

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 33

Hi there, 

I was looking for a little advice on the below...

As you can see from the screenshot below my document date format is set to MM/DD/YYYY which is great - However, I have a colleague who's date format is set to MM/DD/YYYY - How do I change this? I can't find this setting anywhere.

Any advice on the above would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

    Hi Stephen,

    As Mr Valentine suggested, you have to go to "My Setting" and select your region. Every region has specific date format. In your account you may check what region has been setup and same you can do it for others as well.

    Hi Valentin,

    Thank you - That's perfect - It was User Setting page that I was looking for.

    Many thanks

    In the upper right corner go to My Settings -> Region. The Region field in this page affects date formats for each user.

    If you'd like the ability to change it for all users, you can go to the User Settings Page, and in there you can change it for all users one by one.
