Characteristic of Data Type = Date follows User Profile Only

Hi All

In EHS SVT the characteristic TSCAList_Date [SAP_EHS_1023_053_DATE_LIST] is of Data Type = Date) and follows the date format defined in the User Profile of actual user.

If a user is using EU profile such as:

EU date format = 1 DD.MM.YYYY

EU decimal notation format = 1.234.567,89

If he enters a date in another format (Such as YYYY-MM-DD - 2010-03-27) than the one defined in the User Profile (DD.MM.YYYY - 27.03.2010); he will get an error message text:  "Value (&) is not numeric"

Question:

How he can bypass this error and allow SAP make the conversion to changing the date entered (2010-03-27) to the one used in the User profile (27.03.2010)?

I will apreciate any Help
