Address issue in ESS

Question

Hi Expert,
I encounter an issue in ESS when user try to create a new Address record.
In my case, Employee A already has a Address record effective from 1-1-2001to 31-12-9999
When Employee A try to follow the below step to create a new Address record, the issue will exist.
1. Select the country field
2. Select the validity period (by default, it is "Valid as of today" and I change it to "Valid from period") effective from 1-1-2010 to 31-12-2010
3. Save the record
The issue existed.
The record effective from 1-1-2001to 31-12-9999 will be deleted!!!! But instead, 2 record will be created. One is effective from today to 31.12.2009. And the other one is effective from 1.1.2010 to 31.12.2010.
My question is, is there any way to prevent such behaviour?
Best Regards,
KT

Hi,
You need to check the use cases for the infotype "0006" and "0009"
goto "SM30" give "V_T7XSSPERSUBTYP" and maintain
check the use cases set for the infotype "0006" and "0009"
some example as shown below
01 0006 1 A1
01 0006 4 A2
01 0006 5 A2
01 0009 0 B1
01 0009 1 B3
01 0009 2 B2
01 Country ( set the country code as per yourproject )
0006 infotype
1 Sub type
A use Case
( Note - use cases is also depends up on the Time contraint for the Infotype )
