Terminated employees, uncertain end dating

Question

I dont have much knowledge in HRMS. Could you please help me on my issue.
In our test instance for one employee, we have two assignments one is 'Active Assignment' and other one is 'Terminate assignment'.
Assignment effective start date effective end date Primary assignment type
Terminate assignment 13-FEB-12 30-APR-12 N E
Active Assignment 13-FEB-12 31-DEC-12 Y E
But in production some modifications happened 'Terminate Assignment' primary flag updated to 'Y' . In our test instance this 'Terminate Assignment' form is greyed out. Not able to change the primary flag in miscellaneous tab But how it is happened in production not sure. If you know please let us know how and/or where we can change the 'Terminate Assignment' primary flag.
for termination assignment
Actual termination Final Process Last Standard process
27-JAN-12     30-APR-12     27-JAN-12
after 30th April can we see this terminate assignment in the assignment form.
your help would be appreciated.

Hi Prashanth,
Once the Person is terminated, you cannot navigate to the Assignment form beyond the Final process date.
Thre dates on the termination form are important -
ATD - Actual term date
LSPD - Last std process date
FC - Final close
If all the three are the same, then you cannot navigate to the assignment form after the termination date.
If the LSPD or FC are different(always greater) to ATD, then you can navigate to the assignment form only till the FC date, but cannot amend any data, as you've already terminated the employee. All you can do is make some element entries and process payroll till FC date.
For your case, why can't you reverse terminate the employee, make all the changes as you need and then terminate the employee as of the correct date ?
Cheers,
