Time Constraints:

When an info type is updated, the old data is not lost. Instead, it remains in the system so that you can perform historical evaluations. Each info type is stored with a specific validity period. This means that the system can contain more than one record of the same info type at the sometime, even if their validity periods coincide.

If you enter and save new information in an info type, the system checks whether the record already exists for this info type. If this is the case, the system reacts based on rules or TIME CONSTRAINTS set up for that particular info type or subtype.

Time Constraint 1: This is mandatory information that must be uniquely available, gaps are not allowed

Time Constraint 2: This is optional information that, if available, must be unique, gaps allowed.

Time Constraint 3: This is optional information that, if available, can exist more than once

Z: Refers to time management infotypes. The time constraint for these infotypes depends on the time constraint class

This indicator determines how the system reacts when you enter new infotype records which overlap with existing ones.

The specifications are as follows:

• A - The old record is delimited, all collisions are displayed.

• E - The system does not allow you to create the new record, and

displays all collisions.

• W - You can create the new record, but the old record

remains unchanged. All collisions are displayed.

• N - As for W, but collisions are not displayed.
