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.

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 Records Using the Document Display Report.

Procedure

  1. Call the screen for displaying or maintaining the time sheet.
  2. Select the record for which you want to display the predecessor.
  3. Choose Extras ® Predecessor.

    4. The Time Recording Documents screen appears. The screen displays the predecessor and its essential data.

    If the record you select does not have a predecessor, the system issues a message accordingly.

  4. Exit the screen by choosing Back.

Result

You have displayed the predecessor of a data record.
