How to Standardize Date Format to DDMMYYYY Across All D365 F&O Standard Reports

(3) ShareShare

Posted on by 295

Hello D365 F&O Community,

I’m facing an issue with standard reports in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations where the date fields are not consistently displaying in the desired DDMMYYYY format, despite updating user preferences. I need all date fields in standard D365 F&O reports to display in DDMMYYYY format, regardless of user preferences or regional settings.

  • By default, most standard reports show date fields in MMDDYYYY format.
  • To address this, I changed the Date, Time, and Number Format in User Options > Preferences to English (United Kingdom) (en-gb), expecting the date format to update to DDMMYYYY.
  • For some reports, this change works, and the date fields display as DDMMYYYY. See the below image.
  • However, for other reports, the date fields remain in MMDDYYYY format, even with en-gb set. See the below image
  • I’ve debugged the report code but couldn’t find any logic explicitly enforcing MMDDYYYY.
  • I've checked the report design there is no specific format mentioned.
  • I've checked the table property which Date format that is also set to auto.
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
 
Best Regards,
Kishor.

    Hello,
     
    Not all reports are based on the user reference. If you want to display data like vendor transactions report, that is based on the user preference. However, invoices, purchase orders etc. are based on the customer (actually on the party in the address book). 
     
    For the invoice, I would try to change the language of the customer\party to en-gb or something else to see if it affects anything. I know its language and not date format, but often language and date format is linked.
     

    Kind regards, Adis
