Documentation

Definition

You can use the Choose Data indicator to determine which selection period will be used to select data from the various infotypes to structure the infotype header.

Use

  • If you set the Choose Data indicator, you will use data that is valid for the start date of the current processed, or displayed, infotype record to structure the infotype header.

  • If you do not set the Selected Data indicator, the data that is valid for the system date will be used to structure the infotype header.

Dependencies

By using the Data Selection (Data Selection Control) indicator, you can implement both the start date and the system date in the Infotype Header Data Selection Control (T588H) table independently of the info(sub)type.

You must, however, have set the Choose Data indicator beforehand.

Example

  • A Basic Pay (0008) data record is valid from 01.01.1996 to 31.12.9999. The employee's valid organizational assignment on 01.01.1996 should be displayed in the infotype header.

  • The Personal Data (0002) infotype is valid from the employee's birth date.

    There is no point in displaying the employee's first valid organizational assignment since his or her birth date. Therefore, the system date is displayed for the employee's valid organizational assignment.

  • A date-dependent text field is used for a field in the Organizational Assignment infotype (0001) in the infotype header.

    The start date of the Organizational Assignment infotype data record determined by the above settings is used to read this text. If more than one text is valid within the validity period of the infotype record, the text that was valid at the start of the infotype record is used.
