Time Zones and Shipment Date/Time Evaluation

Date and time fields within the Sales Order Entry application (P4210) are not universal date and time fields. Instead, the time zone is implied based on the location associated with the date. Hence, the Oracle Transportation Management system:

  • Calculates the promised shipment date and time based on the time zone of the origin location, which is determined by the detail branch plant.

  • Calculates the promised delivery date based on the time zone of the customer's ship to location. The promised delivery date is subsequently transmitted from Oracle Transportation Management and staged in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne as Oracle Transportation Management plans shipments.
