Supplementary Documentation - CO_PODAT 1002

Use

Here you define the end of the reporting period.

When you first access the transaction, the default value is determined from today's data and an interval. You can set the interval in configuration maintenance.

Procedure

You can leave the default as it is or overtype it. If you overtype it, the value you enter is retained and appears when you access this transaction in the future.

Examples

The current date is March 1. If the interval is 30 days, the default date is March 31. If you change this date to, say, March 15, this is the date which appears when you subsequently access the transaction.

    In cost centers and orders, you access this via the "Reporting" menu option. In project management, choose "Information system".

  2. Then choose "Object -> Default values" to maintain the default values for the period under review.

The interval is defined in table T180V for program SAPMK21O and transaction
