When entering Dates in a form, dates may be entered in the following ways; all of which will be converted into the MM/DD/YYY U.S. Date Format when displayed throughout the SphereWMS system:

  • MMDDYYYY

  • MMDDYY

  • MM-DD-YY

  • MM-DD-YYYY

  • MM/DD/YY

  • MM/DD/YYYY

Special Options:

  • DD (assumes current MM and YYYY); this option only works if a date is already present in the field. A blank date field will return "Invalid" if only one or two digits are entered.

  • +nnn; where ‘nnn' is a number of days. If the date field is blank, the system will return the date that is ‘nnn' days from the system date. If a date is already present in the field, entering +nnn will return the date ‘nnn' days from the date that is in the field.

  • –nnn; where ‘nnn' is a number of days. If the date field is blank, the system will return the date that is ‘nnn' days before the system date. If a date is already present in the field, entering –nnn will return the date ‘nnn' days before the date that is in the field.

  • +0 (plus zero); returns the system date.
