Retention Periods of QM Master Data (QM-PT)

The following versions for a master record exist with status 3 (No longer used) :

Start of the navigation path Version 1: Valid-from date 1/1/98 Next navigation step calculated valid-to date 6/30/98 End of the navigation path

Start of the navigation path Version 2: Valid-from date 7/1/98 Next navigation step calculated valid-to date 12/31/98 End of the navigation path

Start of the navigation path Version 3: Valid-from date 1/1/98 Next navigation step calculated valid-to date indefinite End of the navigation path

Note Note

The valid-to date in version 1 is calculated as follows:

Valid-to date (version 1) = valid-from date (version 2) - 1 day.

End of the note.

Only versions of a master record with status 4 (Marked for deletion) are changed, whose successor versions have a valid-from date (in the above example 7/1/98) that lies before the start of the retention period.

Example Example

The start of the retention period is defined as 9/1/1998. In this example, only the status of version 1 is changed to status 4.

End of the example.
