[YearOffset]
The setting in this section is used to adjust the year on invoices from countries that use alternate calendars:
- YearOffsetN=Three-letter
country abbreviation + [space] + Number to adjust year
The three-letter country abbreviation indicates which country the adjustment should be made for and the number to adjust the year is a number that is added to the corresponding year in the Gregorian calendar (such as 2014) so that it corresponds to the correct year in the calendar used in the country in question.
| Examples | Description |
| YearOffset1=THA 543 | In the year 2014, the date on Thai invoices is often 2557 due to the calendar used there, so to adjust for the Gregorian calendar date used in ReadSoft Invoices, 543 is added to the current year (in this case, 2014) using this flag (that is, 2014 + 543 = 2557). |
| YearOffset2=JAP -1988 | In the year 2014, the date on Japanese invoices is often 26 due to the calendar used there, so to adjust for the Gregorian calendar date used in ReadSoft Invoices, -1988 is added to the current year (2014, in this case) using this flag (that is, 2014 + -1988 =26). |
This works even when DoDateValidation is turned off for the invoice profile in the [Business-logic-validation] section of eiglobalextra.ini.
In any case, for this to work, one of the date formats specified in eiglobalextra.ini for the invoice profile must be used when verifying invoices.
