File properties: mysterious dates for created, modified and last opened

I've seen this ever since I started using my Mac - I am a relatively new Mac user (a year or more vs. well, decades on Win/PC).
Finder: click on a file and it will show its properties. It will have a "More info" button.
The dates displayed between the 2 above are different.
1) In the "immediate" display it would say something like:
Last opened: Today at 10PM
- this wrong day, "correct" time
- considering that it will display this at say 7AM "today"...well, it's a "future" date/time
2) If you click the More info button, the "truth" comes out
Last opened: Yesterday at 10PM (accurate)
Never really cared, but thought I'd ask here. At some point, if I start some development on the Mac, and filesystems, file properties are involved, this will obviously be an issue. I don't even know if this affects file searching based on these properties - again, new user, using Mac for very specific purpose, but usage is definitely on the rise, so I'd like to get some direction on very basic OS behavior like this fully understood.
Thanks and happy new year to all!

Thanks VK. I'm the only user.
Can you please clarify on what user accounts have to do with this behavior?
I've seen many times when corrupt date settings in the global user preference file cause wrong modified dates to be displayed in finder. in that case if you make a different user they will be displayed correctly. the file in question is ~/library/preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist.
It's ok to be technical in your response....if it goes over my head, I'll be frank and ask for clarification....
- Is it a user-defined preference/setting?
- It's almost like a busted UTC/time zone routine (somehow "TODAY" is UTC, but the time value doesn't match) re: 10PM last night on PT is/was "today" in UTC....

Since installing Yosemite all my documents say created, modified, and last opened at 7 08

Since installing Yosemite (10.10.3 on a 2009 iMac) the dates of creation, modification, etc. of documents are shown correctly, but every one was Created, Modified, and Last opened at 7 08. Is my clock going bad? The time on the desktop menu gives the correct time.

Windows 7, file properties - Is "date accessed" ALWAYS 100% accurate?

Hello,
Here's the situation: I went on vacation for a couple of weeks, but before I left, I took the harddrive out of my computer and hid it in a different location. Upon coming back on Monday (January 10, 2011) and putting the harddrive back in my computer, I
right-clicked on different files to see their properties. Interestingly enough, several files had been accessed during the time I was gone! I right-clicked different files in various locations on the harddrive, and all of these suspect files had been accessed
within a certain time range (Sunday, ‎January ‎09, ‎2011, approximately ‏‎between 6:52:16 PM - 9:06:05 PM). Some of them had been accessed at the exact same time--down to the very second. This makes me think that someone must have done
a search on my harddrive for certain types of files and then copied all those files to some other medium. The Windows 7 installation on this harddrive is password protected, but NOT encrypted, so they could have easily put the harddrive into an enclosure/toaster
to access it from a different computer.
Of course I did not right-click every single file on my computer, but did so in different folders. For instance, one of the folders I went through has different types of files: .mp3, ,prproj, .3gp, .mpg, .wmv, .xmp, .txt with file-sizes ranging from 2 KB
to 29.7 MB (there is also a sub-folder in this folder which contains only .jpg files); however, of all these different types of files in this folder and its subfolder, all of them had been accessed (including the .jpg files from the sub-folder) EXCEPT the
.mp3 files (if it makes any difference, the .mp3 files in this folder range in size from 187 KB to 4881 KB). Additionally, this sub-folder which contained only .jpg files (48 .jpg files to be exact) was not accessed during this time--only the .jpg files within
it were accessed-- (between 6:57:03 PM - 6:57:08 PM).
I thought that perhaps this was some kind of Windows glitch that was displaying the wrong access date, but then I looked at the "date created" and "date modified" for all of these files in question, and their created/modified dates and
times were spot on correct.
My first thought was that someone put the harddrive into an enclosure/toaster and viewed the files; but then I realized that this was impossible because several of the files had been accessed at the same exact time down to the second. So this made me think
that the only other way the "date accessed" could have changed would have been if someone copied the files.
Is there any chance at all whatsoever that this is some kind of Windows glitch or something, or is it a fact that someone was indeed accessing my files (and if someone was accessing my files, am I right about the files in question having been copied)? Is
there any other possibility for what could have happened?
Do I need to use any kinds of forensics tools to further investigate this matter (and if so, which tools), or is there any other way in which I can be certain of what took place in that timeframe the day before I got back? Or is what I see with Windows 7
good enough (i.e. accurate and truthful)?
Thanks in advance, and please let me know if any other details are required on my part.
P.S. The harddrive is NTFS.

Never mind. Someone else already answered this for me:
"I use last accessed-created date time stamps all the time when troubleshooting-investigating software installs, its been very accurate in my uses of it in NTFS file systems.
Since some of the dates are while you were gone, I assume it was several days to a week, I would say someone did access those files.
These timestamps along with other data are used by computer forensics teams to reconstruct what a user did on a computer.
Experienced Hackers use software to alter these time stamps to cover their tracks when breaking into computer systems."
http://superuser.com/questions/232143/windows-7-file-properties-is-date-accessed-always-100-accurate/232320#232320
Additionally, I just now found out what happened. Someone else found the harddrive and thought it was theirs (since it was identical to one they had been missing), so they put it in their computer and scanned it with an anti-virus software. They realized it
wasn't theirs and then put it back in the place I had hidden it.
In my original question, I stated a possible theory that someone may have copied the files, but I later realized that copying in itself doesn't affect the "date accessed" of the original/source file, but rather only the "date accessed" of
the copy.
Thanks to all those that may have read my question.

How to get data for current week and previous week using customer exit in Bex.

Hi everyone,
I have a scenario in which I need to display data for current week and previous week (based on "sy_datum" the program has to calculate current week and previous week) in Bex using Customer exit. I have created one variable in Bex Query Designer and I have written code for the variable in CMOD. But it is not working fine, (I know that we can do the same by using offset value in Bex). Can some one guide me how to achieve my requirement using customer exit.
Thanks in Advance,

Why system is thowing this error message as in my case vendor does not comes in to picture ( I can cosider if a GR is with refence to PO , in that case in customer master number has to be maintained in vendor master + shipping condition entered in customer master)
Could you pl help me on above ( as this is 521 movement , it should not have any link with vendor or customer master) then why i am getting this error.
Appreciate your earliest response.
Om

I am doing simple goods receipt without reference to any document ( mvt 521 - goods receipt without ref to production order) , in that case it should not ask for any vendor or should not search for vendor code , i am not getting why it is searching for vendor.
If i removed the setting related to HU management for storage location then it allows me to post the document without any error, but if i activate for HU managment in below path i am getting error ( even in below path if i entered any vendor code then it allows me to post the document)
Logistics general- Handling unit management- basics-materials management - inventory management -HU requirement for storage location and default values for deliveries
plant Storage location Partner storage location Sal org Dist chan shipping division vendor customer HU requred

in above if i entered any vendor code then it allows me to post the doc but i remove it then i am getting above error.
If there any alternative or other setting to overcome this error.
Thanks

How to populate data for 2LIS_40_REVAL, 2LIS_43_POSCAS and 2LIS_44_POSREC

Hi
How to populate data for 2LIS_40_REVAL, 2LIS_43_POSCAS and 2LIS_44_POSREC datasources at RSA3?
I'm very new to retail BI.
I think there is no setup tables for Retail infosources.
Any IDoc or BAPI activation is required or other procedure?
We are in BI-700 SAPKW70015 support pack R/3 side
and SAP_BW 700 Support pack SAPKW70016 &
BI_CONT 703 Support pack SAPKIBIIP9 BI side
Can anyone guide me how to load data?
Points assured
Thanks in advance
Ramana P

Dear Ramana,
There is no setup table for POSCAS and POSREC.This has to be popuated with a BADI Implementation.
As of PlugIns 2002_1_470 and 2002_2_470, POS data is update into BW the 2LIS_44_POSREC and 2LIS_43_POSCAS extractors using a BADI. To be able to update data into BW, the relevant implementation for the BADI must be activated in each case. You can activate the implementation in transaction SE19. The implementations are as follows:
POS_EX_REC_PI2003_1 for extractor 2LIS_44_POSREC
POS_EX_CAS_PI2003_1 for extractor 2LIS_44_POSCAS
Once the activation of BADI , create the back ground jobs for the 44 application and the data is pushed into Delta queue and it can be loaded into BI .
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Krishna Charan

Difference between Due Date for All Tasks and Duration per task in an approval workflow

Hello,
I'm starting to read up and learn about approval workflows in Designer 2010. I am confused by the fields "Due Date for all Tasks" and the "Duration per task". I understand that the Due date for all Tasks is the date that all
of the tasks in the workflow must be completed by. And I understand that the duration means each task has x number of days to complete.
But I dont know whey we need them both. If I have the task duration set to two days and there are 3 tasks involved, then wouldn't the due date be 6 days from the start? Why would I have a due date for all tasks that is completely different than
the sum of the duration of days for each task?
Please help shed some light!

Hi Michelle,
Due date for all tasks, this setting specifies the date by which all tasks are due. It’s used for serial and parallel
task.
Duration per tasks, this setting specifies the date by which an individual
task is due, it’s used for serial workflow participants.
Note, when you create an approval workflow, select task process participants(approvers oob approval workflow), we can also
select once at a time(serial) or all at once(parallel).
For more information, see

Mismatched data for "Created By" in generated Purchase Requisitions

Hi,
Just wanted to ask question to all gurus that, I see some mismatched data for ‘created by’ for system generated Purchase requisitions. As if I do MRP run using MD40(MPS scheduling run) then system is showing PR created by 'MRP controller' but if I run MRP using MD41(single item multi level), then system is showing the user ids name(the person on whose id MRP run is executed) is showing in the PR.
As both the MRP runs being executed in the same user id, then there should not be such kind of diffrent data. Due to this mismathced data we are gettting some difficulties in the reporting.
Thanks in advance.

why can't I print a pdf file, it's asking for a password and I have no idea what it is it never asked for one before?

Good afternoon SaraThanks for responding. Yes, I have been able to open these files before without a password. Funny thing is it is happening on both my husband's laptop as well as mine. I'd appreciate any help you could give me but the file is very personal. So, if you can assist in a way that won't compromise the security I would be grateful for your help.Thanks and have a great day!Kim Morse

VF01 Determine Billing date for billing index and printout to current date

Hi
we need to determine the Billing date for billing index and printout to current date
What can I do to determine automatically at the time of creation current day to Billing date for billing index and printout?
please let me know
Best Regards,

Hi Beatriz ,
You have two options here. you can chose either of these solutions:
1.
A. T-Code: VTFL ( if using del related billing) For the billing document and delivery, at item level assign the copying requirement 011 or if you are currently using some other routine then you can use following in that
VBRK-FKDAT = SY-DATUM.
B. T-code VTFA (if using order related billing)
Similar to A, using copying requirement 011.
2. You may also try option of Checking in the User Exit for the Program RV60AFZA & RV60AFZA.
Please let us know if this helps
