Definition

Specifies the start date of a validity period. The fields valid from and valid to limit the validity period of the following elements:

Use

The field must always contain an entry, as a component always requires a valid-from date.

Dependencies

If you have more than one validity period for a condition, and the Valid-To date is blank for all of the periods, then the validity periods of a condition have the following dependencies:

The Valid-from date of the next period restricts the previous period. The validity end of the previous period is then the <Valid-from date of the next period minus one calendar day>. The last period is valid from the start of its validity period to the current date (see also Valid-to date).

  • 04/01/2002 to today: 12%.

The following debit interest applies to account 4711:

  • 01/01/2002 to 02/28/2002 (= one calendar day before validity start of individual condition component): 10%.
