Documentation

Definition

If this field is maintained, the contract must start after this date. Start dates proposed by rules (e.g., today's date) that fall before the beginning of the period, are changed to the period start date. It is not possible to create contracts with an invalid start date. If no contract data is available, then the valid "from" date is checked against the period start and end dates.

This check is only performed at the header level.

New entries

If a contract is not assigned to a sales area, it is not shown on this screen.
