Time zone settings can be applied to TWL

Before integrating the time zone functionality to be used in TWL warehouses, TWL used server date and time to record all TWL processing. Now, you can set up TWL to use:

  • Local date and time of the user's client system, or
  • Static time zone in use company wide, or
  • TWL warehouse time zone

An option is added to SA Administrator Options-System-General to apply the existing time zone selections to TWL. When the Include TWL in Time Zone Processing option is selected, the operator or static time zone is used to update date fields in TWL, unless you also select the Time Zone Selection for TWL Warehouse option. In that case, the appropriate time zone assigned to each warehouse is used.
