Campaign Cost Date Boundary Map

Align advertising cost dates with the analytics reporting timezone before comparing daily performance. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Source timestamps, vendor timezone, analytics timezone, daylight-saving evidence and approved daily rule.

How it works

1. Preserve original timestamps and explicit offsets before resolving reporting dates.
2. Convert only with the supplied timezone/rule; missing offset remains unresolved.
3. Separate calendar-day movement from cost changes and check boundary rows.
4. Return a daily assignment map; do not change account timezones or claim campaign improvement.

The output

row | source timestamp/offset | approved target zone | reporting day | boundary shift | gap

Worked fictional example

Fictional cost event 2026-10-01T23:30:00Z maps to October 2 at UTC+05:30. Date-only Oct 1 without source timezone stays unresolved, not silently shifted.

Checks and limits

Keep source versions and original values. Unknowns stay unknown. Use qualified review for regulated, legal or hiring decisions. No live account compatibility test, send, share, schedule, ledger change or payment is authorized.
