Report

Hello.

My reports by default print the dates as 11. January 2024

I want the format of the dates to be 11.01.2024.

This includes all the default date fields especially in the Sales Invoice, Purchase Order, and Sales Order report, but I would like this to be the default for all reports.

How can I achieve this?

Hi, as standard this is based on country and region settings, you can try to change the settings below.

As for what Shrey mentioned, this is for developers and needs to be defined in code.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Where would I add that code in case?

I do have reportextensions for the tables I mentioned, but I am not sure where to add those lines in case.

Also, is there a way to set this as the default for every report, so that I don't have to make x amount of report extensions?

Hello,

You can use this following code to get this 11.01.2024 date format in report :

1. Rec.Date := format(Rec.Date, 0, '<Day,2>/<Month,2>/<Year4>');

2. Rec.Date :=Format(Rec.Date,40, '<Standard Format,1>')

Standard Format reference :

May other expert's give you better solution.
