Usually the first step is to correct from what ever the local clock at the observatory said to actual UTC.

Then you convert from UTC to TAI.

And then you convert from TAI to the arrival time at the solar barycenter, removing the geometric light travel time to Earth (or more precisely the observatory) as well as the gravitational effects of Sun, Jupiter and Earth.
