Workflow implementation in international company

[Shai Eyal]

Hi Vijay,
I'll give an example. Consider the following workflow: Once a Purchase
Requisition is released I send an email to the buyer via email step with
the following message: "Purchase requisition at the amount of 25,000.30
was released on 18.05.2006".
Now the format of the amount and the date are set according to the
WF-BATCH user master as appear in SU01.
The problem is, that in US it'll be sent the same. I wanted it to be
sent as:"Purchase requisition at the amount of 25,000.30 was released on
05.18.2006" and in Germany the amount should be 25.000,30.

Hope I made myself clear.


Regards,
Shai Eyal

Hi Shai Eyal,

You're right about the different date formats. I don't think it's due to
geographical setting, its due to the user profile, for WF-BATCH (which
might be changeable).
But I couldn't understand the actual problem that you're facing due to
this and where are u setting the date and what do actually want to
handle?

Regards,
Vijay
