Localize your PeopleSoft System Date

In Peoplesoft system you can easily localize your Date format based on your country format.

For that what you need to do is

  1. Log on to PIA (Pure Internet Architecture) through the User ID has PTPT1000 Permission List
  2. Go to Root >> PeopleTools >> Personalization >> Locale Defaults
  3. Search for your PIA's default language code (e.g.: "en-us")
  4. For user option "Date Format" change the "Override Value" to 
    • D for DDMMYY format
    • M for MMDDYY format
    • Y for YYMMDD format
  5. Note YY or YYYY is based on Page Field properties
  6. Also for "Date Separator" you can use any Single Character to separate
    • / (Forward Slash) is a default one
  7. Save the Page
Now where ever the Date field is occurring which will appear in the updated format.

and this can be overridden by Users personalization which is in,

My Personalizations >> Regional Settings and change the Date Format and Date Separator options based on your convenience.
