Outbound delivery & Invoice - timing issue

[rammohan_shenoy]

Hello Experts,

We have an issue with date & time of outbound dleivery / Invoice.

Our SAP system is in US & system time is pacific standard time. Hence when our unit in poland creates the SD documents it shows as as Us time as delivery/invoice time. But they need the documents to show local poland time.

Please advice how this can be corrected.

Thanks,

Ram

Hello,

the date in VBRK-ERDAT is always set according to the system time (SY-DAUTM) and not by user tiem (SY-DATLO).

This is because the invoice number must be chronological.

Example:

- an Poland user creates the invoice 90000001 on 14.06.2010 at 10:00:00 (Poland time)

- 6 hours later a US user creates the invoice 90000002 on 14.06.2010 at 09:00:00 (US time)

This is not logical.

So VBRK-ERDAT must be set by system time.

Instead if you are speaking about the Billing date VBRK-FKDAt, please check this thread:

Best regards,

Ivano.

If you are talking about the printed documents - your post is not completely clear - then you should be able to build some logic into the print program, e.g., based on the sales area, to output local time.

If you are talking about the time and date stamp in ERDAT fields, I would leave those untouched.
