APPOINTMENT_END_DATE |
This field is used in several HR tables. In HR_PERSON_EMPLOYEE and HR_PERSON_EMPLOYEE_LIMITED, it is the latest last date or expected last date of the person's appointments. If there are no appointment records for the person in SAP HR, this date is set to LAST_TERM_DATE (termination date). In HR_APPOINTMENT_DETAIL and HR_APPT_TX_DETAIL, it is the end date of an uninterrupted appointment to a specific MIT position. Changes to the appointment, such as salary increases, one-time payments, changes in effort etc. do not affect this date, but are reflected in appointment transactions: APPT_TX_BEGIN_DATE and APPT_TX_END_DATE in HR_APPT_TX_DETAIL. |
