Editing Installed Bases in the Past (SAP Easy Access)  

Use

You can use this function to create new installed bases, or make changes to existing installed bases on a date that is earlier than the system date.

Changes made to installed bases can often only be entered in the system at a later point in time. These changes can be backdated to the day on which the actual change was made.

The functions for making changes to new and existing installed bases in the past are available on the SAP Easy Access screen.

Prerequisites

To backdate the validity date, make the following settings in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management by choosing Master Data → Installed Base → Installed Base Category  → Activate Partner and Address Inheritance, Change in the Past.

Features

It is possible to choose a validity date and time that lie in the past for new installed bases and for changes made to an existing installed base. However, the validity date must not fall before the last validity date.
