Date on receipt displaying in American Format

Hi Jillus6,

Thanks for spotting that. It’s always nice to know someone's paying close attention to the little details! And don’t worry, you’re not stuck with the mm/dd/yyyy format. You can absolutely switch it to dd/mm/yyyy. I’ve got you covered. Here’s the link that walks you through the steps to fix it: Change the date and currency format.

Hi Isaiah_C

Thank you for your reply about changing the windows settings to change the date, but unfortunately that is already correctly selected for the English date format.  All our other reports/invoices and orders have the correct format, it is only the receipt document that is incorrect.

Isaiah_C​ , incorrect format of invoice date for receipts in online files has been an unresolved issue for several years,despite being raised many times by users. What more can we do to promote a fix? 

Hi Jillus6 and Mike_James,

Cheers for double-checking the Windows settings. It’s good to know they’re already set to the English date format. As for the receipt date format still being a bit off, here’s another workaround worth doing. You can back up your online file, then restore it locally on your computer. Once the file is restored and opened locally, any receipts you print should use the correct date format.

Cheers,

Doreen

Doreen_P​ , that's not a practical suggestion at all, and only makes me worry that MYOB has no intention of ever fixing this issue. Either that or it's not technically feasible. Could you confirm which of these is correct?
