3552726 - Change the "Valid To" and "Valid From" date in the Maintain Employees application in S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

The Valid To date is changing to the default date (12/31/9999) even after changing it to some other date.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  • Open the Maintain Employees application.
  • Open a user, and edit the Valid To date and save it.

Cause

To maintain the Validity Period of an Employee, the Time Dependency Switch for the Business Partner Role Category needs to be set ON.

We are reacting on this switch by enabling or disabling the attributes ValidFrom and ValidTo. They can't be set, when the switch is OFF.

If the switch is OFF, it has the following effects:

  • Employee Detail View: No form fields "*Valid From" and "*Valid To"
  • CSV-File Upload: No columns "*ValidFrom(YYYYMMDD)" and "*ValidTo(YYYYMMDD)"
  • Default values are automatically set at backend  and can't be changed:
    • ValidFrom: 00000101 (YYYYMMDD)
    • ValidTo:  99991231 (YYYYMMDD)

Resolution

Usually in all Cloud systems it should be set ON. If you face this issue kindly create an incident under the component CA-GTF-BUM
