Definition

In some cases, the patient's birthdate is unknown. In this case, an incomplete birthdate, for instance 00/00/1967 may be stored on the patient's healthcare smart card.

The SAP system requires a valid birthdate. However, this incomplete birthdate has to be transferred from the card in PPA billing.

If it detects an incomplete birthdate when reading the healthcare smart card, it automatically converts it to a valid date. The system then only saves the converted date.

When reading the healthcare smart card, the system records which part of the birthdate is unknown in this field, so that it can determine the original birthdate again in PPA billing.

If the birthdate on the card is incomplete, the system converts the data as follows:

Date on Card    Converted Date     Invalid Part of Birthdate

00/00/0000    Earliest valid birthdate    Year unknown

00/00/1911    01/01/1911    Month unknown

05/00/1911    05/01/1911    Day unknown

If the year is unknown, the system determines the earliest valid birthdate, which is specified in the system parameter MIN_DATE in Customizing.

Use

Exception:

BAPIs: Here, 00/00/0000 is interpreted as a valid value. If you want the system to generate the internal value "Year unknown", the value MM/DD/0000, 00/DD/0000, or MM/00/0000 must be passed on to the BAPI.
