Configuring Confirmation Posting Dates - Overview

You can use either the USE_USER_TIME_ZONE or the POSTING_DATE filter, found in the SAM2210_PM_CONFIRMATION OMDO, to configure confirmation posting dates. Note that you can enable only one filter at a time. If both filters are enabled, you'll get an error.

USE_USER_TIME_ZONE Filter

See the Configuring Confirmation Posting Date Using the USE_USER_TIME_ZONE Filter procedure for detailed instructions.

When the SAP system and mobile users are in different time zones, use the USE_USER_TIME_ZONE filter to perform the time zone conversion. When the filter is active, the application uses the time zone of the mobile user in the back end system to convert the actual start date / time. It also converts the finish date / time received from the mobile client. The system time zone is the default setting. The User Time Zone filter is a back end only configuration.

POSTING_DATE Filter

See the Configuring Confirmation Posting Date Using the POSTING_DATE Filter procedure for detailed instructions.

The POSTING_DATE filter overrides the confirmation posting date as system date. The default option uses the posting date from the mobile device. If you use the POSTING_DATE filter, you must also enable the PostingDateFromUserOverride parameter. The Posting Date filter is a combination of front end and back end configuration.
