Summary :
The SAP Note addresses inconsistencies in time zone determination between customers and plants within SAP systems, impacting scheduling functions. Previously, separate modules such, as SD_TZONE_CUSTOBJECT and SD_TZONE_PLANT, were used respective to customers and plants. The note introduces a unified approach using a new module, SD_TZONE ADDRESS, ensuring more consistent time zone application across these entities, using data from address master records prioritized by ZIP code, region, and country details. This change requires updates in Release 4.6B or 4.6C by adjusting the respective program lines as per the instructions provided in the note.
