Conceptual documentation Date Shift for the Valid-From Date  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Using the date shift function, you can shift the valid-from date of a change master even if changes to objects (bills of material, task lists, or classification system objects) have already been made.

The system checks the control data settings in Customizing.

Protected Time Period

Whenever you shift the valid-from date, the system recalculates the valid-to date for each effectivity period.

In this case, the system creates a temporary protocol that lists the change objects that prevent a date shift.

Example of Inconsistency:

A BOM header, for example with the change number N1, valid-from date May 12th 1997, has been changed.
You are editing another change number (for example, N2). The same BOM has been entered as the change object for this change number. You want to apply a date shift and have chosen the valid-from date of change number N1 as your new date.

You can receive a warning for a BOM item in the same processing situation.
