D365 for Talent uses datetime registrations at all levels (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss), including: 1) Worker position assignment 2) Employment 3) Term of employment 4) Position effective date This leads to a series of challenges: 1) D365 FT does not always default the timestamp correctly in different timezones. 2) End-users need to pay explicit attention to these timestamps. 3) Becasue of time conversion towards GMT, this leads to challenges when interfacing to other systems. For example 03/05/2019 00:00:00, becomes 02/05/2019 23:00:00 in GMT +1. This leads to extra conversion work on the interface and makes the solution more difficult to scale up, when faced with a customer active in a wide range of timezones. When the datetime behavior would be replaced by "date only" behavior, these issues will be solved. This is imo a best practice among competing HRIS solutions. Vote for this idea and make D365FT ready for the enterprise market.
