Selecting Editing Periods

Prerequisites

By entering an editing period you limit the objects in your organizational structure that you can edit or display to those who are valid in the period.

The system sets an editing period which always begins with the current date. You can, however, overwrite the preset data. The system always suggests the editing period you have previously chosen if a validity period is required, when creating a new object, for example. You can overwrite this suggestion.

Procedure

From the Organizational Management screen, choose the change mode from any of the cascading menus in Simple Maintenance (with the exception of matrix).
Enter data as required.
To save your entries, choose Change.

The tree structure is displayed, where you can continue to edit.

Note

Alternatively, you can insert the editing period in any screen in Simple Maintenance which displays the tree structure. Select View Editing Period.

The Editing Period dialog box appears, where you can make your entry.
