• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FB853 - Local time & does not correspond to system time & ?

  The SAP error message FB853, which states "Local time & does not correspond to system time &," typically occurs when there is a discrepancy between the local time settings of the user’s machine and the system time settings of the SAP server. This can lead to issues with time-sensitive transactions, such as posting documents or executing time-dependent functions.
  Cause:
  
  Time Zone Mismatch: The local time zone of the user's machine may not match the time zone configured in the SAP system.
  Clock Settings: The clock on the user's machine may be set incorrectly, leading to a difference in time.
  Daylight Saving Time: If the local machine is observing daylight saving time while the SAP system is not (or vice versa), this can cause a mismatch.
  Network Issues: Sometimes, network latency or issues can cause delays in time synchronization.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Local Time Settings:
  
  Ensure that the local time on the user's machine is set correctly. This includes checking the time zone and ensuring that the clock is accurate.
  If using Windows, you can check this by right-clicking on the clock in the taskbar and selecting "Adjust date/time."
  
  
  
  Check SAP System Time:
  
  Verify the time settings on the SAP server. This can usually be done by an SAP Basis administrator.
  The SAP system time can be checked using transaction code SM51 to view the application servers and their respective times.
  
  
  
  Synchronize Time:
  
  Ensure that both the local machine and the SAP server are synchronized with a reliable time source (e.g., NTP server).
  If necessary, adjust the time settings on either the local machine or the SAP server to ensure they match.
  
  
  
  Adjust Time Zone Settings:
  
  If the user is in a different time zone than the SAP server, consider adjusting the time zone settings in the SAP user profile (transaction SU01 for user maintenance).
  Ensure that the time zone settings in the SAP system are correctly configured for the user’s location.
  
  
  
  Contact IT Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above settings, it may be necessary to contact your IT support team or SAP Basis team for further assistance.
