Documentation
Definition
Calculated age of employee (numerical).
Use
This is an additional field for infotype 0002 (Personal Data). You can use both SAP Query and Ad Hoc Query to report on it.
Dependencies
The value of this field depends on the data selection period you use to execute a query. The data selection period and current date are used to determine a key date. The age is calculated using the key date and date of birth (P0002-GBDAT).
The key date is calculated as follows:
The system date is
- In the data selection period
=> Key date = system date
- Before the data selection period
=> Key date = start of data selection period
- After the data selection period
=> Key date = end of data selection period
The specified date is used as the key date of the calculation when you execute reports for a specific key date.
Note: The data type of this additional field is numerical, which means it can be used for calculations (such as mean value calculations). The system includes another additional field that calculates the age of an employee in exactly the same way (LEBALTER) but is of a non-numerical type. As a result, it cannot be used for calculations. In some situations, you need to avoid automatic calculations (age statistics, for example), which requires you to use this field.
Example
You want to output the average age of your employees on December 31, 2004 in a query.
Use the Age of employee field as an output field, and calculate the mean value. Enter December 31, 2004 as the data selection period.
