Time zones table
Time zones can be identified for companies that have offices spread across multiple time zones. They are identified as relative to a standard zone, usually the one in which the computer is located. This allows the system to stamp transactions (e.g. work orders, etc.) with the actual time based on a facility's location rather than on the computer location.
