Maintaining System Settings

Prerequisites

When you log on to the SAP System for the first time, the system automatically determines the time zone in which your system is located. Regardless, due to various factors, such as daylight saving time rules, you should check this setting to ensure it is correct in your system.

Procedure

To activate the time zone function, proceed as follows:

In Customizing, choose General Settings Time Zones Maintain System Settings. Enter the system's time zone and the user's default time zone.
Since a system and the majority of its users are often in the same location, the system's time zone and the users' default time zone are usually the same.

Note

If the time zone you want to select is not available, see Maintain Time Zones. Either create the time zone or send a request message to SAP referencing component CA-GTF-TIM.
To activate the time zone function, select the Time Zones Active field.
