Documentation

Definition

If you do not enter a start date on the selection screen when creating a record, the system sets a default date according to the value you enter in this field.

' ': The system does not set a default value. Exceptions are described in the respective infotype documentation.

'1': If no record exists, the date of entry is the default; otherwise the initial value is used.

'2': Start date of the current organizational assignment.

'3': CPU date.

Please note that you can only use the 'Create' function to enter
records for the 'Actions', 'Organizational Assignment' and 'Personal
Data' infotypes once.

If a record already exists, the system automatically switches from
'Create' to 'Copy'. The start date can either be preset in the
action or entered explicitly on the infotype entry screen.
