Caution Caution

If the payroll has already been run for this personnel number, then the system displays an error/warning message. Changing the entry date in this case necessitates a correction in the payroll. In this case, you must proceed as described in Changing the Entry Date After the Payroll Run if the Actual Entry Date is After the Incorrect Entry Date or Changing the Entry Date After the Payroll Run if the Actual Entry Date is Before the Incorrect Entry Date .

End of the caution.

After you have saved this entry, the system works in the background and automatically changes all of the employee’s infotype records, whose start date corresponds to the old entry date, to the new entry date.

If errors occur in individual infotypes (for example, incorrect organizational assignment data), you will branch automatically into the infotype concerned after saving. Correct the error.

You then return to the initial maintenance screen for HR master data.
