The
Start Date
category is one of four categories used to classify a selection rule according to the type of selection.
You can use a selection rule in the
Start Date
category to generate
one
time interval that lies before the employee's start date (from the
Actions
infotype (0000)).
Example
You want to determine how long your employee has been working at your company. To do this, you first evaluate the
active
employment status in the
Actions
infotype (0000). However, you must also take any periods before the system start date into account. You use a selection rule to evaluate the
Actions
infotype and also to determine the periods before the system start date.
To determine the periods before the system start date, choose a selection rule in the
Start Date
category. The system should generate a time interval using the first start date, or alternatively a date entered manually, and the day before the first personnel action for the employee. For the start date, assign the value 1 for
Priority for initial entry date,
and value 2 for
Priority for date type.
For the date type, choose, for example,
01
for the technical entry date (standard system). For the end date, choose
Day before first personnel action for employee.
Enter one or more start dates and one end date for the time interval to be generated by the SAP System. You can enter a priority for the start date that lies between the possible start dates. You define the priority using a number. The highest priority has the value 1 . You can only enter each value once. The priorities define the order in which the SAP System searches for the date. The search ends when the first date is found.
