Timestamp Mismatch Between AP Essentials and Output XML

Question / Problem: 

We've noticed that the time stamp for documents in AP Essentials (formerly ReadSoft Online) don't match the time stamps in the XML file that leaves AP Essentials (formerly ReadSoft Online).

Answer / Solution: 

When checking a batch history in a browser in Sweden, the batch created time is in local time (translated by the browser time zone setting), which for me will be Zulu time + 2 hours.

Meanwhile, the timestamp in the outputted XML, when the batch was created, it's in Zulu time (UTC/GMT).

That is why there is a difference.
