Adjust the year on documents for countries that use alternate calendars

Tungsten ReadSoft Entrance displays dates using the Gregorian calendar. When documents are received from countries that use a different calendar, you can adjust the year to coincide with the Gregorian calendar so that regardless of whether the operator enters the actual date on the document using an alternate calendar or the Gregorian equivalent, Tungsten ReadSoft Entrance will be able to accept it.

To automatically adjust the year on documents that use an alternate calendar:

  1. Open or create a document profile that you want to use to accept documents from countries that use alternate calendars.
  2. Open or create the field profile to be used to capture the alternate date.
  3. On the General tab of the Field profile dialog, first select the field type to be used from the Field type list, and then select Date as the type in the Format section.
  4. Select the three-letter abbreviation for the language of the country that uses the alternate calendar in the Language list.
  5. Click OK to close the dialog.
  6. Configure the date for the alternate calendar using the [YearOffset] section in eiglobal.ini. See INI file help for more information.
In countries where dates on documents may come from multiple calendars, Tungsten ReadSoft Entrance can automatically determine which calendar was used for the individual document.
