Documentation
Definition
Specifies the start date for the validity period of an object (such as material, BOM, or routing).
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0000
Use
The system determines this date from the change master record.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0001
Procedure
If you enter a change number or a revision level, the system copies the valid-from date from the change master record.
- For bills of material, the current date is proposed as a default, unless you have defined in the IMG (BOM) that the system low date (01.01.1970) is the default.
- If you remove the valid-from date, the object is displayed over its full validity period. To do this, enter the delete character "!" at the beginning of the field.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0002
Dependencies
The system determines the valid-from date from the change master record. This is usually the valid-from date of the change header. If the object is allocated to an alternative date, the alternative date is copied.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0003
Use
The system selects all items which are valid on this date in the alternative you selected.
Dependencies
In the IMG for production (BOM), you define whether the current date or the system low date is the default.
If you change the bill of material with reference to a change number or revision level, the system determines the date from the relevant change master record.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0004
Use
Procedure
If you only enter one date, the validity period is infinite. If you maintain different validity periods with different alternatives for a material, each validity period lasts until the start of the next validity period.
Examples
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0005
Use
All changes that you enter for this change number are valid as of this date.
Exception:
If a change object is allocated to an alternative date, the valid-from date of the alternative date determines when the change takes effect.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0006
Procedure
If you want to display the where-used list for a material:
- on a specific date, enter the date here.
- over a specific time period, enter the valid-to date as well as the valid-from date
- over its entire validity period, remove the valid-from date with the delete character "!" and do not enter a valid-to date.
- up to a specific date, remove the valid-from date with the delete character "!" and enter a valid-to date
Dependencies
You define the default date (current date or system low date) in the IMG (BOM).
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0007
Use
The valid from data determines from which date PPS calendar periods are calculated by the system.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0008
Use
If you want to display a where-used list for the class:
- for a particular date, enter the date here.
- within a particular time period, enter both the valid-from date and the valid-to date.
- over its entire validity period, delete the valid-from date by entering the delete character "!" and do not enter a valid-to date.
- up to a particular date, delete the valid-from date by entering the delete character "!" and enter a valid-to date.
Dependencies
Settings in Customizing (Bills of material) determine whether the current date or the system low date is used as the default valid-from date.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0009
Use
If you want to display a where-used list for the class:
- on a particular date, enter the date here
- within a particular time period, enter both a valid-from date and a valid-to date
- over its entire validity period, delete the valid-from date by entering the delete character "!" and do not enter a valid-to date
- up to a particular date, delete the valid-from date by entering the delete character "!" and enter a valid-to date
Dependencies
Settings in Customizing (Bills of material) determine whether the current date or the system low date is taken as the default valid-from date.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0011
Use
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
- Unless the change object is allocated to an alternative date, the system determines the valid-from date from the change master header.
- If the change object is allocated to an alternative date, the system determines the valid-from date from this alternative date.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0015
Use
The system determines this date from the change master record.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0040
Use
This date is determined automatically by the system.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0045
Dependencies
The system determines the valid-from date from the header of the change master record.
If the material has been assigned to an alternative date in the change master record, the system takes this specific date as the start date of the revision level.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0131
Use
This specific valid-from date replaces the valid-from date in the change master header. You can use it to define the start of the validity period for individual objects.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 0700
Definition
Earliest date on which you can use the dataset to generate a batch input session.
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 1000
Use
End date for the validity of an object (such as material, BOM, or task list) in the SAP R/3 System.
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV 4220
Supplementary Documentation - DATUV_NARB0400
Definition
Date for which the system searches for valid process instructions that are not flagged for deletion.
