This is useful if your company is situated in the Asia time zone and the financial company is, for example, in the European time zone. If you want to make a new period set for Europe in Asia, the period must be recalculated to your time zone. With this new switching option, you can easily enter periods in a different time zone than your own system time zone.</Paragraph>
