Explanation of the Relationship and Date Fields

The Relationship Valid From date specifies the date from when the new relationship is valid. If you also choose Delete Relationship as a change activity, then this date has to agree exactly with the start of the existing time slot.

Using the value in the If following time slots field, you decide how the system proceeds if following time slots already exist on the Relationship Valid From date.

The following scenarios are possible:

  • Change Relationship is selected.
    • Do Not Change
      • The corresponding terms are not changed and they do not appear in the change list. In addition, the system creates a log entry that documents the fact that a change was not executed.
    • Add New Time Slot or Change Existing One
      • The system adds a new time slot from the Relationship Valid From date, or, if a time slot already exists for this date, it is changed.
    • Delete Additional Following Time Slots
      • The system also deletes time slots that are after the time slot that was added or changed.
  • Delete Relationship is selected.
    • Do Not Change
      • The corresponding terms are not changed and they do not appear in the change list. In addition, the system creates a log entry that documents the fact that a change was not executed.
    • Delete Current Time Slot Only
      • The system deletes only the time slot that is valid on the Relationship Valid From date.
    • Delete Additional Following Time Slots
      • The system also deletes following time slots that come after the deleted time slot.

You can influence the relevance of the characteristic for the selection or change using the following four fields, which exist for each possible characteristic:

  • Relevance Indicator

    If this indicator is set, then the system uses the characteristic, depending on its change type, for the selection and/or for the change.

  • Selection Value

    Only those time slots are selected that have this value in the given characteristic.

  • Target Value

    The system copies this value to the time slot being changed.

  • Change Type

    You can use this field to influence how the Selection Value and Target Value fields are used:

    Change Relationship is selected.

    • Keep
      • The characteristic is used only for selection. The system selects those time slots that have the value of the Selection Value in the corresponding characteristics.
    • Overwrite
      • The Selection Value is used for selection; the system copies the value of the Target Value to the corresponding characteristic in the time slot.
    • Use Target Value Only
      • The Selection Value is not relevant for selection. The system copies the value of the Target Value to the corresponding characteristic in the time slot.
    • Use Target Value Only (Overwrite Only If Initial)
      • The Selection Value is not relevant for selection. The system copies the value of the Target Value to the corresponding characteristic in the time slot, but only if it had no value up to now.

      Delete Relationship is selected.

    • Not Relevant for Deletion Comparison
      • The Selection Value is not relevant for selection.
    • Relevant for Deletion Comparison
      • The Selection Value is relevant for selection. This means that the system deletes only those time slots, in which the corresponding characteristics have the value of the Selection Value.

Note

  • The selection log lists those objects that were found by the object selection, but that do not conform to the characteristic selection.
  • The system copies locked objects to the target list, but they cannot be processed further.
