1 - current date as key date,
2 - date of previous day as key date,
3 - entire period according to the personnel control record (PA30),
record type 1. If accounting is at the correction stage or
complete for the payroll area, the subsequent period is proposed.

record type 1. The subsequent period is the default if accounting
is complete for the payroll area.
