Definition

Using Key date with time-dependent characteristics, you can determine when you want to read master data. The current date is entered by default.

Example

The attribute values for a characteristic are valid from 01.01.2000 to 01.06.2000, after that the attributes have new values. If you select the key date between 1.1.200 and 1.6.2000, you get a different result in the list output to the result you would get if you entered a later date.
