Red Prairie On-Demand WMS Integration: Warehouse and Time Zones Setting

By Terry | June 21, 2012

In SmartTurn, you are allowed to have multiple warehouses in different time zone. For example:

We can create a Warehouse in GMT-8 time zone while our organization time zone is using GMT-4. (See below)

Lets look at how this setup would affect your result when querying you query a Sales Order using the Web Services API.

For example, we have a Sales Order, SO-000194 created in Warehouse 2.

If we query the record by SO number, thre response will return the Sales Order with the date/time referring to the Company’s Time Zone:-

  
    .................
      
        SO-000194
        .................
        .................
        2012-06-15T12:28:36.140Z
        2012-06-15T13:16:27.028Z
        .................
        .................

If we query the record by SO numberANDWarehouseName , the Sales Order returns the result accordingly but with the date/time referring to the Warehouse’s Time Zone instead:-

  
    .................
    
      SO-000194
      .................
      .................
