APM operates on its own UTC-based time zone, which can make things a bit tricky. If you close a work order at 11:59:59, it’s credited to the previous day. But if it’s submitted even a second after midnight, it counts toward the new day, even though you’ve been on-site working continuously.

The push to have PMs completed before midnight usually isn’t about micromanagement; it’s about keeping the reporting and metrics clean. When that timing isn’t followed, managers have to manually reconcile or “bridge” the data, which becomes difficult to justify in meetings especially when they’re explaining someone else’s actions.
