Maintaining Time Zone Basis Data

Since the standard time zones are delivered with the SAP system, most users do not need to carry out this procedure. However, we suggest that you check these tables for the time zones in your local area to ensure that there are no errors due to local laws that may have changed in recent weeks.

Procedure

In Customizing, choose Cross-Application Components ® General Application Functions ® Time Zones ® Maintain time zones in basis customizing.

Since the parts of a time zone's structure build on each other, define time zones by completing the table's parts as follows:

First define the variable daylight saving time rules or fixed daylight saving time dates (choose Variable summer time rules or Fixed summer time rules)
Then define the daylight saving time offsets (choose Summer time rules)
Next define the time zone offsets (choose Time zone rules)
Next define the time zone indicators (choose Time zones)

Save this data after each table has been completed.

Return to the customizing tree and execute the steps described in Activating Time Zones.
