Configuring Multi-time Zone Support

As a default the system assumes operations are in a single time zone. This has a few high level impacts:

  • All master data must have a time zone that is equal to the base time zone. As such all master data will have the same time zone and that time zone will be the base time zone
  • Certain logical complexities are avoided during high volume processing given the knowledge that all master data time zones are equal to the base time zone.

If your implementation resides within multiple time zones then the Multi Time Zone Support feature configuration must be enabled. Doing so will allow master data to be defined with any time zone configured in the system. It will also enable logic to convert time zones between the master data time zones and the base time zones.

You can access the feature configuration portal from the Admin > General > Feature Configuration.

From the list of results returned select the feature name for the feature type General System Configuration. For the option type Multi Time Zone Support supply "D1YS" as the value to turn multiple time zones on.
