Changing the Entry Date After a Payroll Run if the Actual Entry Date is After the Incorrect Entry Date 

Use

The Incorrect entry date and Corrected entry date personnel action types are not included in the Personnel Actions screen because they are only performed in exceptional circumstances and with great care.

Procedure

  1. From the SAP Easy Access screen, select Human Resources ® Personnel Management ® Administration ® HR Master Data ® Maintain.

  3. Specify the personnel number of the employee whose entry date you want to change.
  4. Choose the Actions infotype (0000).
  5. Choose Copy.
  6. This takes you to the Copy Actions (Infotype 0000) screen.

  7. Select the Incorrect entry date personnel action type.
  8. Do not change the pre-set validity period. In this case, the incorrect entry date is the start date of the validity period. Do not change any other data.

  9. Choose Save.
  10. You return to the initial maintenance screen for HR master data.

  11. Choose infotype 0000 Actions again.
