Symptom

Validation Error
Please correct the following errors before proceeding:

The value entered for the criterion is invalid: d/MMM/yyyy

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log into HCM > set the locale to X >
  2. Navigate to Learning Administration >
  3. Under Preferences, change the admin's locale to Y >
  4. Perform a search selecting a date (for example, at Learning Activities > Classes) > open the calendar picker to choose a date > select the date >
  5. Depending on the month being selected, upon "Search" the error is displayed.

Cause

Due to the change in the calendar widget being standardized across the application, this issue will be seen if locales differ.

Resolution

The calendar widget showing the validation error is due to the mismatch of locales/languages and is deemed as expected behavior of the system.
