Activating/Deactivating Query Time Period
Use
The validity of assignments normally begins on the key date you have specified. Alternatively, you can activate a dialog box, in which you can enter any validity date when assigning objects (this does not apply when you are assigning persons (employees) or users to positions).
Procedure
The Period query for organizational changes dialog box appears.
Result
If you have activated the time period query, a dialog box will appear when you move or assign objects and you can enter the validity of the assignment in this dialog box.
If you have deactivated the time period query, the validity of the assignment is determined according to the key date.
