In Business Central 19 the time zone for users could be set in "My Settings". However, the time zones shown are in standard times, so when we are in daylight savings the timestamps on the reports (example G/L Register) are 1 hour behind. Is there some setting that could be changed to enable daylight savings? The only workaround I see right now is to select a time zone that is one hour ahead.
We have a cloud instance with the same issue on the G/L Register.
We looked at their code an inside the Type Helper Codeunit, they are have a method called GetUserTimezoneOffset which uses a DotNet TimeZoneInfo;
This is the culprit.
For us, while we are in daylight savings, it should return -7 but it returns -8.
One of our users noticed it on this report but other may be coded differently.
Hello,
Yes, we do require a support incident so we can track internally. The support ticket will be free of charge if the issue is caused by a bug on our side. We ship a CRONUS company without any extensions or customization. In SaaS you can create a Sandbox and in OnPrem you can restore a Demo database. If the issue does not reproduce there in that setup, it is more likely something external is causing this. Then the support ticket will be charged, etc.
Thanks.
Thanks Marco Mels , Do we have to raise this as a support incident? We are on a pay per incident plan.
Hello,
Feel free to raise it to Microsoft so we can take a look.
Thanks.
Hi,
Yes the customer is on premise and the server time is correct. It is just that BC only recognizes the standard time and not the daylight savings. We are the BC partner for this customer. The issue persists BC14 as well as BC19. I have tested them in two different server environments but no luck so far.
Thank you.
Hi
I assume you have on-prem version (we are on SaaS). I remember long time ago we had this issue with AX and after much time spend it team discover this is because of wrong setting on server that they installed the AX. Looks like AX was reading the time from server and server had a wrong time setup. But I am not sure this is an issue here.
In changed my Setting in Saas version to Pacific and worked correctly. I even changed my docker version to pacific and worked correctly.
Do you have any BC partner that can look into this?
I selected Pacific Standard Time, as the users are in CA. The users do follow daylight savings, but the report timestamps do not, hence the timestamps are 1 hour behind. As a workaround I have selected Mountain Time, but looking for a more permanent solution, else each time we go into daylight savings we have to update all the user personalization.
Hi
Just make sure you have selected correct standard time. For example for Mountain Time you have one MTS for Arizona and another for the rest. If you are not in Arizona select the other one (Arizona has no daylight). Similar to other states as well.
