Simple validation on start and end dates

Apex 4.2
I am trying to create a validation script on my start date and end date. A simple validation that says the start date selected has to be less than the end date. Because apex treats my date fields as strings, using a pl/sql expression such as P101_START_DATE <= P101_END_DATE doesn't work. This may seem like an easy issue but I am having trouble creating this simple validation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

i had tried this a few times but I kept getting an invalid numer to character error. Maybe my syntax was off. Let me try again.
I must have had syntax errors. I tried it again, the way you typed it out and it worked. Before I was using '/' instead of '-' to separate the date fields.
Thanks again!!

Date Span - Validation for start and end date parameters in Crystal reports

Hi,
I am new here and am unsure if this is the right place to post this issue. If so, I apologize for that.
I am working on Crystal Reports 12 and don't know if it is possible; to validate the parameters - Start Date and End Date are within a specific span of time. For Eg. Start Date and End Date should be within 6 months or Start Date should be a future date.
Can we prompt that parameters entered are invalid and have users re-enter it?
I will really appreciate any help into this issue.
Thanks Much,
RP

Hi,
Well, it is not possible to validate the date/datetime values in the prompt window, however there are other alternatives.
One of them is to create an Alert with the condition:
datediff("m",Minimum({?DateParameter}),Maximum({?DateParameter})) > 6
//This is to check if the start date and the end date are within 6 months
Another way of doing this is by displaying a message on the Report Header and suppressing all other sections if the date range values do not meet the condition.
Hope this helps!

[CF10] CFINPUT custom validation start and end dates

Hello, everyone,
Another developer that I am working with is working with a form that has start and end dates. He'd like to be able to use custom JavaScript validation to make sure that not only are the dates in proper format (that part of the JS is working fine), but that it will also check to make sure that the start date will always be prior to (or equal to) the end date, and will throw an alert if the end date is before the start date.
I've Googled for this, and am finding informative suggestions on just making sure the date is in the right format, or falls within a certain range, but nothing on how to make sure that one date is before (or less than) another.
I'm guessing that data binding might be a part of it. Can anyone suggest how to set these fields so that each has a validateat="onblur" that will check both values?
Also, as a related issue, he has the CF datepicker working as far as entering the dates, but since the field doesn't get/lose focus on this, how do we trigger the function?
V/r,
^_^

I am trying to change Validity start and end dates on a lane for a product specific assignment.
What I see is as follows
1) Lane created by system /others I can delete and give the required start /end date ?
I want to know if I can change the end date without deleting the lane as its tough to delete a lane in production.
Thanks

Hi,
we can change the start period and end period in the Transportation lane using the table /SAPAPO/TRPROD.
And then using the update command you can change the start time and end time of the product.

How to input my own Validity Start and End Dates in ME21N

Hi All,
I have to change the Validity Start and Validity End date in Addiitional Data Tab of ME21 transaction( PO Create ) using default Customer Values.How Can i accomplish it?
I have used the BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST and implemented it, I have coded in the method PROCESS_HEADER.First I retrieved the data using get_data( ) method, changed the values with Customer Values and called the method set_data( ).
However my validity start and End Dates and not changing.
Even in ME21N if I create the PO with my own Validity Start and End dates, and go to ME23N to display the created PO, still in the additional data tab, the start and End dates are current date and Next date respectively.why its happening?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Can you please let us know in which business scenario this is required.
SAP has provided separate functionality of Outline Agreement for considering validity period.
If you let us know the business scenarion some solution/workaround can be suggested.

How to change both start and end dates for an business event (or any object

Hi all.
We are in the case to change the validity dates for several business events in training management.
The special point is that both, start and end date, have to be changed.
In example, business event 00000001 is valid from 2010.01.01 to 2010.01.31 and shoud be "moved" from 2010.05.01 to 2010.05.31.
So if i run RHBEGDA0 report to change start date first, it doesn't work propperly because new start date is bigger than old enddate.
Next thing we thought is to change end date first, using RHGRENZ1, and then change the start date, with the report RHBEGDA0. Problem with this solution is that a business event duration shoud be calculated taking care of free days (weekends and day ofs).
Is there any better solution for this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards.

Hi,
I gueass the best solution is to use PV1A t-code.
You can write an LSMW for this t-code if the number of business events to be maintained is huge.

Getting the start and end dates of the week

Hi,
I was stuck with a problem in getting the start date and end date of the week,i know the month ,week and year also,with these three values how can i get the start and end dates of a week.please help me
Thanks

There is no simple way. It has to be a math calculation.
There are several ways you can get the dates. First you have to know what day is January 1st and what day is december 31st for a particular year. Second you have to check whether the given year is a leap year or not. Based on the abvove information you should be able to find out what day is a particular date.
Hope this helps to get you started.

Contract start and end date in BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA

HI,
I am using BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA to create a contract from within a custom ABAP program. However I cannot figure out how to get the contract start and end dates into the contract header. I know that you can enter them into the ONTRACT_DATA_IN table parameter but these dates only appear on the line items and not the header.
Does anyone know which parameters on the function map to the contract header start and end dates.
Thanks.

Hi,
there are also fields QT_VALID_F and QT_VALID_T for quotation or inquiry. So it looks like for different contract types you need to use different fields. This BAPI calls FM SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE which has subroutine ms_move_header_in which maps from BAPI fields to internal fields. Here is a small part of this routine.
MOVE order_header_in-qt_valid_f       TO e_vbakkom-angdt.
MOVE order_header_in-qt_valid_t       TO e_vbakkom-bnddt.
MOVE order_header_in-ct_valid_f       TO e_vbakkom-guebg.
MOVE order_header_in-ct_valid_t       TO e_vbakkom-gueen.
When I check technical fields for the screen fields "Valid from" and "Valid to" in VA43 I get names GUEBG and GUEEN. So it still looks like you should use CT_VALID_F and CT_VALID_T.
I forgot to mention you can still debug BAPI to figure out where the problem is.
Good luck

SNP Planned order start and end dates are not calculated correctly

Hello SNP Guru's
The SNP planned orders generated after the Heuristics run, have a start and end date based on the Activity Duration (Fixed), while the resource consumption is based on the Bucket Consumption (Variable), which is correct.
The Activity Duration (Fixed) is based on the BOM Base Quantity. So if the Activity Duration = 1 day, and if the order quantity is more than a day, the start and end dates, still shows as 1 day. So no matter what is the order quantity, the start and end dates is always = 1 day.
Does anyone have any experience in implementing any code to change the start and end dates on SNP Planned Order?
Seems like it should work as standard.
Am i missing something?
Thanks,
Mangesh

Dear Mangesh,
SNP is a infinite planning tool. If you have defined fixed duration to be 1 DAY in the activity, no matter how many quantity you input for your planned order, the order will last for one day. If the resourced is overloaded, you then run capacity levelling to
banlance the capacity. What your expected beahavior happens in PPDS planning.

Contract Start and End Dates in Sales Order

Hi
I have a situation where a service item is bundled with a deliverable item. The order is as follows
Line Item    Mat                                                                 Qty            Higher Level Item
10              Item No.1 (Physical Item)                                  1
20              Item No.2 (Service Item)                                    1               10
For the deliverable item 10 , Revenue is recognized immediately. For the Service item no.20 , revenue needs to be recognized over a period of 1 Year (It is a 1 year service contract).
The whole order is created via BAPI from an external 3rd party order capture system.
In order to do revenue recognition properly for service items , SAP I believe has 2 options
1. Based on Billing plan dates
2. Based on contract start dates
Since order with both the line items need to produce 1 invoice, I cannot use billing plan . The only other option is to use contract start and end dates. I have enabled contract data at the sales order level. So when I enter the contract start and end dates manually at the line item level and set the item category to recognize revenue based on contract start and end dates based on time-based revenue recognition it is working fine.
But I need a way to automate the population of contract start and end dates at the line item level. My ABAP guy is not able to find a user exit that can change the XVEDA or any VEDA structure in any of the user exits.
I guess the SAP SD gurus out there would have definitely dealt with a situation of product bundling (Service and non-service items in the same sales order with one billing document , but seperate revenue recognition for service and non-service items)
Please help.
Thnx
Siva

Hi Siva,
Kindly let me know what criteria you want to give for automatic population of start date of contract...
Standard SAP comes with a few baseline dates for contract start date and we can control this from customization itself.
01     Today's date
02     Contract start date
04     Acceptance date
05     Installation date
06     Date contract signed
07     Billing date/Invoice date
08     CntrctStDate+contract duration
09     Contract end date
If you have some criteria which is not covered here, then let me know and i will try to provide some help then.
Thanks
