3297546 - Date Format in MDF Blocks

Symptom

When switching system's language to Arabic, the effective date displayed in some blocks such as Recurring Deductions does not follow the Islamic date format, but the Gregorian format.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log in to the system with the language set to English;
  2. Check some blocks in the Profile such as Personal Information and Recurring Deductions;
  3. See that both display the "Effective as of:" field respects the Gregorian Date Format;
  4. Now switch system language to "Arabic";
  5. Go to the Employee Profile;
  6. Check both blocks again and see that only the Personal Information one is displaying the date in Arabic Date Format. Recurring Deductions is not. Date is still displayed in Gregorian format.

Resolution

This is expected system behavior for MDF blocks such as Advanced Deductions, Payment Information and Work Order.
