About Changing the BRM System Time and Date
Changing the BRM system time and date does not affect the operating system time and date. You do this to test time-sensitive functions associated with nonrecurring jobs. For example, you can change the BRM system's time and date to test the following:
-
Whether accounts are billed correctly. You can advance the date and then run a billing job and generate an invoice.
-
Whether product catalogs are synchronized correctly.
To indicate that you have changed the BRM system time and date, a banner showing the modified BRM system time and date is displayed on the top of every page.
Note:
Closing the banner does not revert the time and date to the real system time and date.
