Definition

Date, as of which the time-dependent data for the asset are valid.

Example

You can allocte an asset to a cost center in the asset master record. You can define specific time intervals for this allocation. You can display the time intervals that are available, and you can select intervals for maintenance. If the allocation changes, and you want to define a new interval, as of a given point in time, you first have to define the new time interval. The system then processes the data for the new time interval, and takes over the original allocation. The system then offers the new interval for maintenance.

Example for maintaining a time-dependent allocation to a cost center:

  1. The current interval is displayed

Valid from    Valid to    Cost center

01/01/1992    12/31/9999    1000

  1. Enter new interval

07/01/1992 - 12/31/9999

  1. Maintenance of data is offered

Valid from    Valid to    Cost center

07/01/1992    12/31/9999    1000

  1. Cost center 1000 is changed to cost center 2222

Valid from    Valid to    Cost center

07/01/1992    12/31/9999    2222

  1. Internally available intervals:

Valid from    Valid to    Cost center

01/01/1992    06/30/1992    1000 <--- created automatically

07/01/1992    12/31/9999    2222
