Recently, for one of our integration programs we were trying to pass data from our datetime field to the Salesforce datetime field. We were passing Date as “2014-01-02 00 00 000” but while viewing the same record in the Salesforce User Interface it was displaying the date as “2014-01-01 8 PM”. This posed a big problem for us as the data in this field was of great significance to our integration. This is because we had to use the dates for range selection.

We tried a lot of options but in vain. We then queried that object using salesforce developer console and found that the date value stored was actually correct. It was just that while displaying the information in the UI, Salesforce converts the date value to the timezone in which the user profile is configured.
So if the user profile is set to some GMT value, Salesforce automatically adjusts the time that is displayed in the datetime field for that particular timezone. In order to view the actual time that has been passed through the integration we changed the timezone of our user profile to “GMT +00:00” as shown in below screenshot.
In order to do this, navigate to Setup >> Administer >> Manage Users >> Users. Click on Edit for the required user profile. Go to Locale Settings section and select the timezone from the dropdown. Save the changes. The date field will now display the original time that was passed from the integration.
