3633769 - The Start and End Date of the Line Items are Not Displayed Correctly When Filtering in the Item Table of the Contacts

Symptom

When filtering for the item with the End Date as DD/MM/YYYY in the Items tab of a contract, only the line items with End Date DD-1/MM/YYYY are displayed.

For example when filtering for the items with End Date 31.05.2025, only the line items with the End Dates 30/05/2025 are displayed.

Note: The same behavior also occurs for the Start Date of the line items in the Contracts.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Sales Order Work Center.
  2. Go to the Sales Order View.
  3. Filter for All Contracts.
  4. Search for the Contract ABC (where ABC represents the ID of the Contract).
  5. Open, Select View All.
  6. Navigate to the Items tab.
  7. In the Item table, locate the End Date column.
  8. In the End Date column, filter for DD/MM/YYYY.

Only the Items with End Dates as DD-1/MM/YYYY are displayed.

Cause

When filtering the End Date for contract items, the system converts the End Date from the backend to the logged-on user's time zone, displaying it as either minus one day or plus one day.

Resolution

This is a current limitation of the filtering engine for Start Dates and End Dates of Contract documents.
