I used to love SAP

Because it's so tulip it delivers bucketloads of money for testers and other assorted contractors.

Now I ******* hate it because i have to use it to fill in my hours and make my timesheet and the bloody thing doesn't work, you have to fill in your hours, some secretary who's invariably off sick has to then accept them, before sending them to a random PM to accept and only then I can print the bloody sheet and get it signed by my own PM. And all the while SAP fails to recognize the dates I've filled in using the little calendar provided in the app, bla bla bla what a load of overpriced overrated overblown bollox.

Same problem here. It throws a fit if I don't enter hours as 8,00 instead of 8:00 or 8.00

Whilst I don't want to defend SAP for the sake of it as may seem in this thread, after all, its complexity is what pays for Mrs PL's exotic holidays.

8:50 and 8.50 are not the same time values, are they?

Nor are 8,000 and 8.000 in DE but I conceed you didn't add the extra zero.

The point I was trying to make SAP sucks when it comes to other languages. It's tragic. Give me excel, please?!

I like how after gazillions of €£$ spent on software that is not needed, that now, somehow, it's my fault. Sweet.


Pen and paper never gave me such problems. Humanity is truly doomed.

SAP's great for it's multilingual capability. What are you wittering about?

I'm pretty sure it works ok in German.



Some might say it's even easier to use.

[scooterscot]

SAP isn't a language. Nor is Excel for that matter.

Edit: oops. I feel even more stupider than usual now...

Yes and so you should.

[NotAllThere]

Yes and so you should.

Darn. Wasn't quick enough with my edit...

btw: system->user profile->defaults tab->decimal notation. Change it back to 1,234,567.89
