I know that I have seen this somewhere, but now that I need it I can not find it anywhere.
We all know that the date format comes from Windows Language and Time formats and that is the default that GP uses when it is showing a date on reports.
While this is nice for all the reports and documents that are generated, however, in Canada we are being (have been) forced by the CPA to format the cheque date in a specific fashion to make is better for OCR capture.
In the Canadian Payroll there is a Script that has been created that formats the date as required, and that is great, however, I am being requested by more and more clients to provide that same (some say correct) formation of the date for Invoices and Payable cheques.
Has anyone got a solution?
The format of the date for the Canadian payroll cheque is shown and printed as
Y Y Y Y M M D D with the same text field shown below.
It appears that we can format the date in any fashion desired, as long as the text below tells the OCR what it is looking at.
There are spaces between each number in the format and I have tried to apply a filter in RW but that does not seem to work.
Thanks,
