Help with expired valid to dates for line items in a contract

[former_member996861]

We used to use validity dates (valid from - valid to) for item pricing within contracts. We now set the valid to date to infinity (12/31/9999). When entering new items, this is the default date.

For multiple items in various contracts, the validity date has expired (those created prior to our change to set them to 12/31/9999). There are thousands, so we're unsure exactly which ones expired until we come across them. 2 questions:

#1 - How do we run a report to return contract lines that shows line validity date? We have a report to do something similar, but this was also returning contracts that is entirely goods and has the Target QTY on the lines empty, regardless if the date needs to be updated.

#2 - Can we somehow mass update all items in a contract to have a validity date of 12/31/9999, or does this need to be done line by line?

I am not an experienced SAP user, so if any additional information is required, please let me know.

Hi darkninjamole,

Welcome to the SAP Community. Thank you for visiting us to get answers to your questions.

Since you're asking a question here for the first time, I'd like to offer some friendly advice on how to get the most out of your community membership and experience.

First, please see https://community.sap.com/resources/questions-and-answers, as this resource page provides tips for preparing questions that draw responses from our members. Second, feel free to take our Q&A tutorial at https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/community-qa.html, as that will help you when submitting questions to the community.

I also recommend that you include a profile picture. By personalizing your profile, you encourage readers to respond: https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/community-profile.html.

Now for some specific suggestions on how you might improve your question:

* Outline what steps you took to find answers (and why they weren't helpful) -- so members don't make suggestions that you've already tried.

* Share screenshots of what you've seen/done (if possible), as images always helps our members better understand your problem.

* Make sure you've applied the appropriate tags -- because if you don't apply the correct tags, the right experts won't see your question to answer it.

* Use the "insert code" feature when sharing your code, so members have an easier time reading.

Should you wish, you can revise your question by selecting Actions, then Edit.

The more details you provide (in questions tagged correctly), the more likely it is that members will be able to respond. As it stands, I don't know if there is enough information here for members to understand your issue. So please consider revising your question because I'd really like to see you get a solution to your problem!

I hope you find this advice useful, and we're happy to have you as part of SAP Community!

Regards,

Dedi
