An infotype that lets you store information on the depreciation of qualifications and the validity of course types.

This information is used in the areas of personnel development, and personnel training and education. The infotype lets you specify the period of time after which a qualification or skill is no longer valid or has depreciated in value and consequently needs to be refreshed.

In Training Management you can assign a validity period to a course type. You also store information on prerequisite and follow-up courses for courses. Once the validity period of a course type expires, the corresponding relationship between the participant and the course that was created during follow-up processing becomes invalid. (This is the relationship B034 has participated in course type).

In Personnel Development the validity period you assign specifies the time period after which a qualification or skill (for example, a pilot's license) needs to be renewed or refreshed.

The depreciation meter specifies the period after which a qualification attained is worth only half its original value.

Infotype 1025 stores data on the validity period and depreciation meter of qualifications, and the validity of course types. You can maintain validity data for course types in this infotype.

You maintain the validity duration of course types in the Training Management (PE-LSO) component. You can do so directly for the course type or by accessing infotype maintenance.

You can maintain the validity period and depreciation meter for qualifications either in the master data catalog in Training Management or in the qualifications catalog in the Personnel Development component. The data you maintain is stored in infotype 1025. However, you cannot actually maintain this data in the infotype.
