Documentation
Definition
Contains a date that identifies the start of a validity period.
A validity period identifies the lifespan assigned to an object or an infotype record, or the period of time that these items "exist". Validity periods consist of a start date and end date.
Supplementary Documentation - BEGDATUM 0120
Supplementary Documentation - BEGDATUM 0220
Use
Use this field to identify when the relationship between two objects begins. (By moving objects, you are creating new relationships among objects in a structure.)
The system automatically inserts a default start date, but you may overwrite it. To do so:
- type in a date
Supplementary Documentation - BEGDATUM 0510
Use
Enter a period in these fields to select objects you want to edit.
Objects whose validity date lies within the period you specify are offered for editing.
Procedure
To specify a period, either
- enter a date manually
or - press F4 to display a calendar from which you can then select a date.
NOTE: The dates specified in the current window are proposed by the system as default values for the validity period.
Supplementary Documentation - BEGDATUM 0511
Use
Use the Selection period fields to choose the objects you want to work with in Quick Setup, by naming a selection period. A selection period consists of a start date and end date. All objects that are valid at ANY point during the selection period are available in Quick Setup.
Procedure
Use this field to enter a start date, for the selection period. To do so:
- type in an appropriate date
Supplementary Documentation - BEGDATUM 0520
Use
Enter the start date for your root organizational unit in this field. The system automatically proposes the smallest date (usually the current date). You may overwrite this date.
To complete the field, either:
- enter a date manually
or - press F4 to display a calendar from which you can choose a date.
Supplementary Documentation - BEGDATUM 0525
Use
Use this field to setup a default validity period for Quick Setup. The default will be applied within Quick Setup only, and you will always have the opportunity to override it.
Procedure
The system automatically inserts its default minimum date (usually the current date). You may enter a different date. To do so:
- manually type in a date, or
- press F4 to select from a calendar (double click on the desired date)
Supplementary Documentation - BEGDATUM 0535
Use
Enter the validity period for the relationship between the position and job in these fields.
To do so, either:
- enter a date manually
or - press F4 to display a calendar from which you can choose a date.
Supplementary Documentation - BEGDATUM 0556
Use
In CREATE mode, use this field to identify when the relationship between two objects should start.
The system automatically inserts a default minimum date. You can enter a different date. To do so:
- manually type in a date, or
- press F4 to select from a calendar (double click on the desired date)
NOTE: The start date assigned to the relationship record cannot begin before the start dates of either object involved.
In CHANGE mode, the field cannot be edited. (It is not possible to change start dates once they are established.)
Supplementary Documentation - BEGDATUM 0558
Use
This field displays the start date of the selected object or relationship. This date cannot be changed.
Supplementary Documentation - BEGDATUM 0560
Use
Use this field to identify when the relationship between a position and a holder of a position begins. The system automatically inserts the default start date, but you may overwrite it. To do so:
- type in a date
Supplementary Documentation - BEGDATUM 0570
Use
When renaming objects, enter the start date of the new object abbreviation or name in this field. The system automatically proposes the smallest date. You may overwrite this entry.
To complete the field, either:
- enter a date manually
or - press F4 to display a calendar from which you can choose a date.
Supplementary Documentation - BEGDATUM 0590
Use
In CREATE mode, use this field to identify the date when the relationship between two objects becomes valid. (A Relationship infotype record is automatically created when you establish new objects in Simple Maintenance and Graphics.)
The system automatically inserts a default minimum date. You may overwrite the date.
To do so either:
- manually type in a date, or
- press F4 to select from a calendar (double click on the desired date)
Supplementary Documentation - BEGDATUM 0591
Use
