Date and time formats

Sterling™ Order Management System Software can present stored dates and times in any valid date or time format. Date and time fields in Sterling Order Management System Software must be entered relative to the locale that the Sterling Order Management System Software database resides in.

Some typical date formats are as follows:

• MM/dd/yyyy
• dd/MM/yyyy
• yyyy/MM/dd

In each date format, the month can be entered as a word instead of a numeral as long as the entire length is not more than ten characters.

Some typical time formats are as follows:

• HH:mm:ss
• HH:mm

Use the hour format 'HH' as opposed to 'hh', whenever you localize Sterling Order Management System Software. 'HH' signifies the 24-hour format, which is the only format supported by Sterling Order Management System Software.
