Besides being sensitive to local time zone considerations, Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation is configured to recognize worldwide time zones. For example, if an order is placed in Germany for fulfillment in the United States, but, the order details are not filled on time, the software considers differences in the two time zones in order to raise an exception at the appropriate hour in the United States.
Following are the different ways in which the IBM® Sterling Application Platform handles time zones:
When a date field does not contain a time component, the time is assumed to be 12 a.m. Such fields are not adjusted for time zones when viewed from various locales with different time zones.
