Activating Time Zones 

Prerequisites

When you log on to the SAP System for the first time, the system automatically selects the time zone that is nearest to where 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

  1. In Customizing, choose Cross-Application Components ® General Application Functions ® Time Zones ® Maintain time zone activation in client.
  2. Enter the system's time zone and the users' default time zone.
  3. 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.

    4. If the time zone you want to select is not available, please see Maintaining Time Zone Basis Data and create it or send a request message to SAP referencing component CA-GTF-TIM.

  4. To activate the Time Zone function, select the Flag active field.
