Definition

Specifies the validity end date. The valid-from field and the valid-to field restrict the validity period of the following elements:

Use

You should make an entry in this field in special cases only. If you have entered a valid-to date, you can also make an entry in the Reason for Restriction field.

You should only restrict periods if there is a reason for the restriction, for example, because you want an individual condition to apply for a customer for a specific time only.
If you restrict the validity of conditions, there may be periods in which no component of the condition is valid.

Therefore, standard conditions normally should not have a valid-to date. Individual conditions, however, often have a Valid-To date, since they are often temporary.

Dependencies

If you have more than one validity period for a condition, and the valid-to date is blank for all of the periods, then the validity periods of a condition have the following dependencies:

The valid-from date of the next period automatically restricts the previous period. The end date of the previous period is the valid-from date of the next period minus one calendar day.

Example

Standard condition for debit interest:

  • 1. Component: Valid-from date: 01/01/02, Valid-to date: Empty, interest rate: 10%
  • 2. Component: Valid-from date: 04/01/2002, Valid-fo date: Empty, interest rate: 12%

The following debit interest applies:

  • 01/01/2002 to 03/31/2002 (= 04/012002 minus one calendar day): 10%.
  • Since 04/01/02: 12%.

Individual condition for debit interest on account 4711 (the above standard debit interest condition applies):

  • 1. Component: Valid-from date: 03/01/2002, Valid-to date: 06/30/2002, interest rate: 9%

The following debit interest applies to account 4711:

  • 01/01/2002 to 02/08/2002 (= one calendar day before validity start of individual condition component): 10%.
  • 03/01/2002 to 06/30/2002 (individual condition, overrides standard condition): 9%   
  • Since 07/01/02: 12%.
