• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEDMSET205 - Time zone and/or day offset of profiles do not correspond ?

  The SAP error message EEDMSET205 indicates that there is a mismatch between the time zone and/or day offset settings of the profiles in the system. This error typically arises in the context of time management, particularly when dealing with employee profiles, work schedules, or time evaluation settings.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inconsistent Time Zone Settings: The time zone settings for different profiles (e.g., employee profiles, work schedules) may not match. For example, if one profile is set to a specific time zone and another profile is set to a different time zone, this inconsistency can trigger the error.
  
  
  Daylight Saving Time (DST) Issues: If one profile accounts for daylight saving time while another does not, this can lead to discrepancies in time calculations.
  
  
  Profile Configuration Errors: There may be errors in the configuration of the profiles themselves, such as incorrect settings for time zones or offsets.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Profile Settings: Review the time zone and day offset settings for the profiles involved. Ensure that they are consistent across all relevant profiles. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration areas in SAP (e.g., transaction codes like PA30 for employee master data).
  
  
  Adjust Time Zone Settings: If you find discrepancies, adjust the time zone settings to ensure they match. This may involve changing the time zone for one or more profiles to align with the others.
  
  
  Review Daylight Saving Time Settings: Ensure that all profiles are configured to handle daylight saving time consistently. If one profile is set to account for DST and another is not, you may need to adjust the settings accordingly.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs. This may involve running time evaluations or processing time data to confirm that the profiles are now aligned.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct settings, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or HR configuration team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data), PA20 (Display HR Master Data), and others that may be used to check and modify profile settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message, as they may provide additional insights or patches that could resolve the issue.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify profile settings in SAP.
