I saw this error when my application server and my DB server were not in the same timezone.
When you create a work order in Maximo desktop, do you see the correct time in the WO Reported Date? If it's not correct (even when you are in the right timezone set in your Default Person profile), there then there is timezone mismatch issue.
In my case, it was one hour behind due to different timezone. I got my application server timezone updated and issue got fixed.
