Data selection period selects all persons which might have a special attribut in that range. Imagine you want to list all persons which hat a special company code in the year 2006, but you need to show data dor december 2007.

So data selection period will be 01.01.2006 to 31.12.2006, and person selection period will be 01.12.2007 to 31.12. 2007. This will show the records for every person valid in dec. 2007 and had a special company code filled in in the selection screen in the year 2006, even if they dont belong to this company code in dec 2007 any more.

Hi

The basic difference is:

Standard Selection Screen

<u>Date selection:</u>

Date selection delimits the time period for which data is evaluated. GET PERNR retrieves all records of the relevant infotypes from the database. When you enter a date selection period, the PROVIDE loop retrieves the infotype records whose validity period overlaps with at least one day of this period.

<u>Person selection:</u>

Person selection is the 'true' selection of choosing a group of employees for whom the report is to run.

Thanks
