Documentation
Definition
Field that contains the time constraint for each infotype or subtype. The time constraint determines how often records can be present at the same time. The system uses time constraints internally to ensure data integrity.
The values have the following meaning:
0 = May only be present once
This time constraint allows:
- A maximum of one infotype record of the same type for the same object at the same time.
- No changes to the record
1 = Without gaps
This time constraint allows:
- A maximum of one infotype record of the same type for the same object at the same time.
- No gaps in time between valid records.
- Changes to the record
Example: an object must always have a short name. This information must always be present, without gaps, but it can be changed.
Restriction: Time constraint '1' is not supported for the Relationships infotype (IT1001).
2 = With gaps
This time constraint allows:
- A maximum of one infotype record of the same type for the same object at the same time.
- Gaps in time between valid records
Example: a position can only have one Vacancy infotype record at a time.
3 = Unlimited
This time constraint allows:
- Several infotype records of the same type for the same object at the same time.
- Gaps in time between valid records
Example: All subtypes of infotype 1001 (Relationships) with the relationship direction top down (when delivered). For example, the Sales department can be related to several positions at the same time.
