Comment 17 for bug 918257

Hi Guys!
Well I have the same problems. I have been doing some further tests. Not what is written in the database, but how the different modules handle time/time zone. These test are done using 3 different server environments installed with v6.1 and using the web client; 1: server2003, 2: win7 and 3: the online paying service my.openerp.com. I have tested 3 modules; sales, warehouse and human resource. I have also tested the modules on the actual server and on another computer on the LAN via the web interface.

1. Is is quite obvious that it is not that easy to get correct.
2. what is written in config-files for db-server, erp-server or web client have no effect on what is displayed as been mentioned before.
3. The modules get the time from the computer, but how each module calculates the final time that displays is different . For me it is a constant time difference from displayed time and computer time of 3h. Except for sales which always display the correct time.

After a number of test with change of time zone and change of clock I have come to the following conclusion that the Sales module always display the correct time, both on the server and on the LAN-computer no matter what I change. The online service displays almost the correct time compared to local time. If I change time zone it follows, but If I change only the clock it does not follow, except for the sales module.

Unfortunately, I do not have the competence yet to look into the programming of these modules, but I would say that the person that have written the Sales module have made a very good job!
