Define Rules For Determining Dates

A baseline date (for example, current date, beginning of contract) forms the basis of every date determination rule. A period to be defined is added to this baseline date.

You define the rules for date determination on the basis of the following ates:

• The possible baseline date is predefined by a fixed value range (for example current date, beginning of the contract) and cannot be changed.

• You can define the period in any way by specifying a number with a corresponding time unit.

• If you use a calendar ID to define a rule, the system determines the next possible workday starting from the baseline date. If you use a calendar ID, you may NOT specify a period.

Note

in order to define a rule, you must maintain at least one baseline date.

Example

If a date determination rule takes the baseline date to be the contract start date, the period to be 6 and the time unit to be months, then the system determines the date starting from the agreement start date plus 6 months.
