Summary :
This SAP Note provides guidance on displaying and converting timestamps in BW reports across different time zones. It clarifies that manual application and adjustment of the provided sample coding are necessary due to the Note Assistant’s inability to automate this process. The note outlines multiple timestamp display methodologies in BW such as unconverted timestamps, conversion to both fixed and user-assigned time zones at design or runtime, and conversions aligned with specific record fields. These are implemented using InfoObjects and may require the use of BAdIs or customer exits depending on the approach, ensuring flexible reporting compliant with varied geographical data requirements.
