Warning: The date format does not match the value in the input file
Help Document

Diagnosis

You set the European date format (DD.MM.YYYY) for the Excel legacy data transfer. (If you did not make a setting, the setting was adopted from your user master record.)

However, the value of the '' field, which was transferred from the transfer file, contains a slash (/). This seems to indicate the American date format (MM/DD/YYYY).

System Response

This is only a warning. In an update run, the system creates the asset master record and interprets the transferred value in the unusual format DD/MM/YYYY, as an exception.

Procedure

Check your input file. If you want the date to be interpreted using this unusual DD/MM/YYYY format, you do not have to do anything.

However, if you want the date to be transferred in MM/DD/YYYY format, check if all the dates in the input file are in this format. If so, then change the date format from the menu. Choose Settings -> Date format.

If your input file contains some dates in DD.MM.YYYY format and others in MM/DD/YYYY format, you have to change your input file so that all dates are in either American format or European format.
