2089497 - TIMEZONE Column and Supported International Time Zone Codes - Platform

• What are the supported time zones in the SuccessFactors Application?
• What values can go in TIMEZONE column of user import file?
• Is it possible to set up a default TIMEZONE to users? So that when importing users with TIMEZONE field empty it defaults to that timezone.

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

• The SuccessFactors Application uses the field "TIMEZONE" in User Data File (UDF) imported on Employee Import to determine the timezone of each user within the system;
• All displayed and reported times will be on the user timezone;
• It is not possible to select a default timezone to the users, If a timeZone value is not loaded the field will be automatically populated with a default of Eastern Standard Time.
• In proxying, the system will show the login user timezone as basis not the user being proxied as.
• In the list attached, change the locales in your user import files to the values shown for the Timezone ID column. This document provides a list of timezones available in the SF system.

Timezone Logic:

• SAP SuccessFactors is using timezones defined in the Java Platform.
• The Java Platform uses the IANA timezones: http://www.iana.org/time-zones
• Hence SAP SuccessFactors is using the standard universal timezones defined by IANA.
• The values to be imported are case-sensitive and must align with the guide below.
  If the case-sensitivity is not adhered to, the default timezone will be applied to users.

It is not possible to get all the available timezones used in SuccessFactors using ad hoc or using import/export data.
