Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the effects of system, user, and plant time zones on material documents. It explains that the 'Entry Date' and 'Entry Time' are set according to the system's time for consistency. The user's local time zone determines the default 'Posting Date', relevant for FI posting periods and exchange rates. The local entry time isn't stored in material documents. Time information is recorded in the document's header and items, but the plant's time zone doesn't affect this due to multi-plant capability. Further details are available in the SAP Library under Time Zones management in MM Scenarios.
