Documentation

Definition

Determines the start date from the date type for the Date Specifications infotype (0041).

Use

If you assign a priority to this field, you must also specify a date type.

The system always uses the record from the Date Specifications infotype that is valid at the time of evaluation. If no record exists at the evalation time, the system does not determine the start date from the date type.

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.
