Date from or to which the condition records are valid.

Supplementary Documentation - B_DATAB 0001

Use

You can limit the document adjustment process to the adjustment of condition records whose start and end dates lie within the specified time period.

Example

In the week from 02.24.97 to 02.28.97, a vendor grants you a special discount of 2%, which you maintain accordingly. The condition record is thus valid from 02.24.1997 until 02.28.1997.

Now associated PO documents are to be adjusted (entry of the additional discount). By entering 02.01.1997 as the start date and 02.28.1997 as the end date, you can limit the volume of documents.
