When you enter dates into the selection screen of an HR logical database, it is important to know what each selection means, and what SAP does with the entries.
|
|
The key values provided by the Logical Database are the start and end dates. These values are stored in the values PN/BEGDA (Start Date) and PN/ENDDA (End Date). Depending on what
option the user chooses in the Period box, different values are put in PN/BEGDA and PN/ENDDA.
|
|
An example will make things much more clear. Assume that today is June 5, 2000 (2000/06/05). The list below shows what the value of PN/BEGDA and PN/ENDDA will be for each of the six
options.

Person Selection Period
|
|
When you enter a person selection period, the system selects only those employees who are members of the company on at least one day in the specified period. These are persons with a
valid Organizational Assignment (0001) record. Entries in the standard selection options fields limit the personnel numbers that are selected.
|
|
You can specify an interval by entering the 'from' and 'to' dates in the left and right columns respectively.
|
|
The following reporting options are available:
|
|
The entire period - If you make no entries, the system sets the lowest and highest system date as the 'from' and 'to' dates.
|
|
Part periods - You can specify an interval by making an entry in the left and right columns. If you enter only the highest date, the system automatically sets the lowest
date.
|
|
The values PN/BEGDA and PN/ENDDA are used to bring back a list of employees that meet the date parameters, plus any other selection criteria that may be entered elsewhere on the
selection screen.
