Example:

Consider that the server is available in India and the user is in Adelaide, Australia. If the local time in Adelaide is 11:00 AM, Server time would be 7:00 AM (Since Adelaide time zone is 4 hours ahead of India).

Let the user select the ‘Station’ as “Adelaide”, enter the Date & Time as 24/08/2010 11:30 AM and change the status of the task from “Planned to “In-Progress”.

The system converts the entered Date & Time 24/08/2010 11:30 AM into server equivalent i.e. 24/08/2010 07:30 AM (time difference of 4 hours). This value is greater than the Server Date & Time which is 24/08/2010 07:00 AM. Hence the system displays error message, mandating the user to enter the ‘Actual Start Date & Time’.
