Microsoft Message
Finance and operations apps are being updated to support the 2026 time zone changes in Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia. This is a general awareness message to support the changes and complements MC1510951 — Windows updates are available for 2026 time zone changes in Canada.
Rollout schedule
Updates will be delivered by service to support the November 1, 2026, time zone transition. Availability will vary by service.
The finance and operations platform update will require manual installation by customers.
How does this affect me?
The finance and operations platform update adds support for the new region-specific time zones in Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia. It does not automatically change users’ existing time zone selections.
After the November 1, 2026, transition, affected users may see incorrect local times in the apps unless they select the appropriate new region-specific time zone.
The updates add the following region-specific time zones:
- (UTC-05:00) Manitoba
- (UTC-06:00) Mountain Time (Alberta)
- (UTC-07:00) Pacific Time (British Columbia)
What action do I need to take?
After installing the applicable platform update, affected users must select the appropriate new region-specific time zone for the changes to take effect.
Additional app-specific actions are listed below:
Commerce: After the required asynchronous setup job has completed:
- Open All stores and select the appropriate new time zone from the Store time zone drop-down on the General tab.
- Open Distribution schedules and run a new data sync for job 1070 (Channel configuration).
- Open Download sessions and monitor the new job 1070 session to confirm it has been applied to all applicable channel and offline databases.
