Warning: date format may be incorrect

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, a date that was transferred from the transfer file contains a slash (/). This seems to indicate the American date format (MM/DD/YYYY).

System Response

The system created the asset master record and interpreted the date in European format.

Procedure

If you are not sure if the date should be interpreted in this way, then carry out a test run using the same field assignments and the same input file. You then receive detailed information on which fields in the input file contain a slash (/). Then check your input file.
