# #10184 [Mai][German Localization] Recurring Frequency DateFormula Exports as Invariant Tokens (+1D/+1Y) Instead of Localized UI Tokens (+1T/+1J) in ExcelInital commit

> The Recurring General Journal page now exports recurring frequency date formulas in localized UI tokens (like +1T for German) instead of invariant tokens (+1D) when exporting to Excel or OData.

[Pull request](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps/pull/10184) · merged into `main` (BC30) on 2026-08-18 by sanjmaurya · 11 files (+1231 -11), 5 AL · fix · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus)

## What changed

- Recurring Frequency on page 283 is now bound to a text variable holding Format() of the DateFormula, so exports use session-language tokens
- Entered text is converted back with Evaluate and stored as the DateFormula on validation
- Fixes German exports showing +1D/+1Y instead of +1T/+1J in Excel
- Page changed in the W1, APAC, ES, IT and RU layers
- Unit tests added in ERMGeneralJournalUT across several country layers
- Behaviour changes for users or extensions.
