My question is related to population of modified date time field in AX during any posting.

Suppose I have a server at singapore and i am working through a client India,and the current time in singapore is 12 p.m and that in India is 9 a.m. Then while I am posting any purchase order packing slip, it is populating the modified date time field with the time of singapore i.e 12 p.m. But I require the Indian time i.e 9 a.m. to be populated there. How is it possible?

Regards SSM

The "ModifiedDateTime" field is of the type utcDateTime. In the database the field value stored will be the date/time in UTC/GMT. In the UI the field is then converted and displayed using your own time-zone.

The location of your server in Singapore is as such not relevant.

If your users in India gets a wrong date/time displayed, you should set the time-zone for the individual users in the user options form "Tools/Options".
