Enabling the Parameter for Plant-Specific Time Zone Conversion

Users have the ability to configure the SAP system to transmit the delivery date utilizing the Plant's time zone rather than the System's time zone for Purchase Order, Scheduling Agreement, and Scheduling Agreement Release transactions. This functionality facilitates the conversion of dates on outbound documents to the time zone specific to the plant by activating the parameter "USE_PLANT_TIMEZONE."

To enable this conversion to the plant-specific time zone, follow the steps outlined below to maintain the necessary parameters for External Format Conversion:

1. Using the transaction code SPRO, navigate to Integration with Other SAP Components > Managed Gateway for Spend&Network for Buyer > SAP Business Network Integration > General Settings.
2. Select IMG-Activity for Plant Specific Time Zone Conversion.
   
3. On the Parameters – Plant Specific Time Zone Conversion screen, select Modify.​
   
4. Maintain the parameter USE_PLANT_TIMEZONE by entering value X (in uppercase) in the Low field.​
   
5. Select Save.​
