Oracle Fusion – UTC time zone impact on Inventory balances and GST compliance (IST users)

edited Dec 22, 2025 7:38AM in Inventory Management

Hello Experts,

We are facing a critical time zone–related issue in Oracle Fusion impacting Inventory balances and GST compliance.

Business Scenario

  • Our organization operates 24×7 in India (IST – UTC +5:30)
  • All users have User Level Time Zone Preference set to IST
  • Period-end reports are used for GST compliance and inventory reconciliation

Issue Description

Based on our analysis, it appears that:

  • All transactions in Oracle Fusion are stored in the database in UTC
  • Period balance and inventory valuation reports are driven by UTC time
  • User or Legal Entity time zone (IST) is applied only at the UI/report display level, not for period cutoffs
