SAP Note 22593 - Earliest recalc. date for part. delet. of absences

Symptom:

If you want to record an absence without specifying the duration, you generally enter the end date 12/31/9999. If the end date of the infotype record then becomes known, it can be chaged for infotypes which do not belong to Time Management using "partial deletion". The recalculation date is thereby set to the first deleted day of validity.
For absences, the recalculation date has always been set to the first day of validity of the original infotype record. In certain situations, this can cause problems:
- for long-term illnesses,
- for parental leave,
- for military or non-military service

Key words: absences, I2001, P2001, recalculation, earliest
possible recalculation period.

Additional key words

P0003, IT0003

Cause and prerequisites

Situation not anticipated.

Solution
Using the following correction, partial deletion with an earlier recalculation date is possible for absence records which are entered on screens 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 (i.e. for absences that do not reduce a quota).

Partial deletion
================

To partially delete an infotype record, proceed as follows:
After starting transaction PA61, select the infotype and choose the function "Delete".
Go to the data record in question (e.g. an absence from 3/1/1995 through 12/31/9999, and in the validity period field enter the part to be deleted (e.g. from 6/13/1995 through 12/31/9999). Choose the function "Delete".
The result of this action is an absence from 3/1/1995 through 6/12/1995. The recalculation date is set to 6/13/1995.
