Definition

Used to derive the key date for which the system determines master data.

Use

In fee calculation and grant evaluation, the system takes into account the master data of the student, program or module in question. As this master data is time-dependent, it can change in the course of the fee calculation or grant evaluation period. That is why the system needs a key date to determine the relevant master data. The system determines this key date from the assigned key date category.

Further notes

The following four key date categories are defined in the SAP system:

  • Key date category 01 (start date of the academic session)

    The following start date applies depending on the object type:

    • Program object type
      • Start date of the sessional registration within the academic period of the fee calculation period to be processed
    • Module object type
      • Start date of the module booking within the academic period of the fee calculation period to be processed
  • Key date category 02 (end date of the academic session)

    The following end date applies depending on the object type:

    • Program object type
      • End date of the sessional registration within the academic period of the fee calculation period to be processed
    • Module object type
      • Start date of the module booking within the academic period of the fee calculation period to be processed

Note: Key date categories 01 and 02 may only be assigned to the program or module object type, but not to the student object type.

  • Key date category 03 (start date of the standard academic session)

    This is the start date of the academic session assigned to the top organizational unit (standard time limit 0100 or the corresponding customer time limit)

  • Key date category 04 (end date of the standard academic session)

    End date of the academic session assigned to the top organizational unit (standard time limit 0100 or the corresponding customer time limit)

Note: Key date categories 03 and 04 can be assigned to all three object types (student, program, module).

You can define the start and end dates of an academic session in the academic calendar by assigning it time limit 0100 or the corresponding customer time limit (see also IMG activity Define Manadatory Time Limits for Academic Calendar).
