SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 

1. Access the CDS view I_BUSINESSPARTNER.
2. Observe the "changed at" field for different suppliers.
3. Note that the time zones displayed are inconsistent, with some entries in UTC and others in JST.

Each object saves the change document in the database using a different timezone. The system time for a cloud system is set to UTC+0, but different applications can save the time based on either the 'System Time' or the 'User Time.'

The time that users see is set in the 'Maintain Business User' App for the CB user who made the change.

The Business Partner Apps operate on 'User Time,' and changes reflect the time of the user who made the change. This is the design from the Business Partner side.
