Timezone difference OS and SAP server

Hello,

I do not know what happens when the timezone of OS differs from the timezone in STZAC?

Currently on both OS and SAP the timezone CET is set. What is the impact when I change the system timezone to UTC?

And how is the process when an SAP GUI client from another country (timezone) is working. Which time would be logged?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello,

Thanks to all replier. Let me show you a concrete example which I do not fully understand:

Regarding the KBA 2006897 the formula for calculating the OS time zone is (report TZCUSTHELP):

3600/3600+(2 -> Yes=1 or No=0)

In this case 3600/3600+2 = 3, the OS time zone is UTC+3.

But in OS I am getting the following:

UTC+1

In SAP txn STZAC:

I think that is why I am getting the error in the report TZCUSTHELP:

But I unfortunately not know what setting is wrong?

Thanks
