Definition

Determines the start date using function module HR_ENTRY_DATE.

Use

If this start date has the highest priority, the system determines the employee's entry date using the function module and uses this entry date as the start date.

Priority concept

The system users the date with the highest priority as the start date of the interval. The number 1 is the highest priority.

The start date can be determined

  • From a date type in the Date Specifications infotype (0041)
  • From an initial entry date in the Contract Elements infotype (0016)
  • From the Entry into group date in the Contract Elements infotype (0016)
  • Using the function module HR_ENTRY_DATE
  • From the result of a calculation process in the Employment Period infotype (0553)

The assigned priorities specify the sequence in which the system searches for the dates. The search ends when the first date is found. If no priority is assigned to a field, the R/3 System does not evaluate the accompanying infotype when the start date is determined.

Determination of end date

Define the end date of the period in the End date of generated basic interval field. The system generates a period from the start date with the highest priority and the defined end date. However, if the start date is after the generated end date, it is ignored.
