AEDTM no change to the new date when delimit done

Question

Hai,
I have a question and would like to know whether it is a std SAP behavior or not? Where the delimit function (example delimit infotype 0014) is changing to new change date at field AEDTM? It's the same date which the record was created earlier or not? At field AEDTM it's look like the new changing date is not appear and its hard for user to define when was the action has been delimited.
For info report S_AHR_61016380 - Logged Changes in Infotype Data, still not able to meet our user needs.
Is there any notes or patch that need to be apply to address this problem?

Hi Marini,
As of release 4.0A the logic is that if the CONTENT of an infotype          
record is changed the new UNAME and AEDTM are stored in the record.         
If only the validity range of an infotype record changes by copying, or     
by the delimit functionality the former UNAME (and AEDTM) stays.                                                                               
That means: If the function delimit is used, or if for an infotype with     
time constraint 1 or 2 a new record is created which delimits a former      
record for the delimited record the former values of UNAME and AEDTM        
are still stored and not updated.                                                                               
The fields "changed by" (UNAME) and "changed on" (AEDTM) are only           
updated, when a field other then 'end date' (ENNDA) has been changed.                                                                               
To further clarify, if you use transaction PA30 and the function            
'Change', the fields UNAME and AEDTM will be updated.  It is with         
the function 'Delimit' that only the end date of the infotype               
will change.                                                                               
If you want to store the information when and by whom an infotype has       
been changed, you can activate the infotype change documents which is       
designed for the tracking of changes on infotype records.                                                                               
The IMG Path is: Pers Mngt > Pers Admin > Tools > Revision > Set up         
Change Document.                                                                               
Some further explanation is provided in note 333493.                        
However if you want the old functionality back, please have a look at       
the other note I attached, 353788.                                                                               
An important issue to keep in mind when you implement the changes of        
this note 353788, is that these source corrections will NOT be taken up     
in SAP standard and also not be delivered by HR Support Package.            
Regards,
Ana
