Displaying the Predecessor of a Data Record

Use

The Time Sheet allows you to change data records even if they have already been approved or written to the interface tables for transfer to the target components .

The system generates a second data record in this case. This means that there is a new original record, and a predecessor to this original.

The initial version of the record is not lost. You can still display it using the Time Sheet views and then make a comparison with the changed version.

The predecessor is assigned the processing status 50 - Changed after approval or 60 - Canceled .

Note Note

You can also call the predecessor of a record using the document display function. You need to know the document number to do this.

For information on the document display function, see Displaying Data Records Using the Document Display Report
