  Verify that the time zone in question is defined correctly and has a valid UTC offset.
  
  
  
  Review Time Zone Mapping:
  
  Ensure that the time zone is mapped correctly to its UTC offset. This can be checked in the same area of the Customizing settings.
  
  
  
  Update Time Zone Data:

  Related Information:
  
  Time Zone Tables: SAP maintains several tables related to time zones, such as T006 (Units of Measure) and T005 (Countries), which may also be relevant.
  Daylight Saving Time: Be aware of how daylight saving time affects time zone offsets, as this can lead to discrepancies if not configured correctly.
  User Profiles: Check if the user profile settings are correctly set to the intended time zone, as this can also impact how time is displayed and processed.
