Definition

Use
The date type is used in the Date Specifications infotype (0041). Here you can assign a specific date to a date type.

- User-defined date types must be assigned to a non-numeric date indicator.

Use
The date type is used in the Date Specifications infotype (0041). In this infotype, you can assign a specific date to a date type for each employee.
If you want to use a date type to define a validity period, the system reads the date stored in the infotype without the year. This allows you to store an annual period which is independent of the calendar year (01/01/xx - 12/31/xx).
Procedure
Examples
An employee joined your enterprise on 04/01/1995. Absence quotas are created annually for employees. Counting is always based on the entry date.
You should therefore use the date type 01-technical entry date for the start and end dates. The absence quota is then generated for 05/01/xx to 04/30 of the next year.

Procedure
Examples
