Documentation
Use
The Start date and End date fields are used together to select infotypes for inquiries/reports, according to the infotype validity period.
All infotypes (Relationships, Descriptions, and so on) have a validity period that defines when they "exist".
To select infotypes according to validity, you must enter a selection period, which is a range of dates, for example, 01.01.1994 to 12.31.9999. All infotypes valid at ANY POINT within the specified period will be reported on.
Procedure
Use the Start date field to identify the start of the selection period. To do so:
- type in an appropriate date
NOTE: If you do not wish to select infotypes according to validity, leave the Start date and End date fields blank.
Supplementary Documentation - DBEG 0300
Use
The Data selection fields contain default settings. The settings identify a default selection period for the infotypes linked with objects.
Name a selection period when you want to confine reports/inquiries to infotypes that are valid within a specified period, for example, 01.01.1994 to 12.31.9999. All infotypes valid at ANY POINT within the specified period are reported on.
Procedure
Use the first field to identify the start of the default selection period. To do so:
- type in an appropriate date
NOTE: If you do not wish to confine reporting in this manner, leave the Data selection fields blank.
Supplementary Documentation - DBEG 1000
Use
The Start date and End date fields contain validity dates. The dates identify when the relationship between the organizational unit and the position(s) is valid. The Start date field identifies the start of the period when the relationship is valid, and the End date field identifies the end of the period.
Procedure
Use the Start date field to identify the start of the validity period. To do so:
- type in an appropriate date
Supplementary Documentation - DBEG 3000
Use
The Date fields are used to select objects for inquiries/reports, according to object validity periods.
All objects (organizational units, business events, and so on) have validity periods that define when they "exist".
To select objects according to validity, you must enter a selection period, which is a range of dates, for example, 01.01.1994 to 12.31.9999. All objects valid at ANY POINT within the specified period will be reported on.
Procedure
Use the Start date field to identify the start of the selection period. To do so:
- type in an appropriate date
NOTE: If you do not wish to confine reporting according to validity, leave the Date fields blank.
Supplementary Documentation - DBEG 5000
Use
You may use this field, or the Period, or the Selection Period fields, to extract infotype information for a report according to validity period.
This field allows you to extract information by naming a single date. All infotype records that are valid on the specified date are reported on.
Procedure
To enter a key date:
- type in an appropriate date
(The system automatically inserts the current date, but you may typeover it)
NOTE: If you do not want to extract information this way, leave the field blank.
