Effective Dating Very Important Concept #1: Effective Dating Slide 5 of 16 In PeopleSoft, effective dating is the way PeopleSoft keeps a history of changes over time. When we make changes, we ADD A ROW with the new information and a NEW EFFECTIVE DATE (the date that the new info takes effect)

Effective Dating The Effective Date of the change should be BEFORE or ON the start date of the term that will be effected You can back date actions The effective dates must be sequential as you add rows, but do not have to be consecutive Slide 6 of 16

Effective Dating Effective Dating Example -Pretend the semester starts on the 11 th -Any changes made on the 11 th or before will take effect for that semester -Each change must have its own date, and they must be chronological SO you could set the date to several days before the start of the semester. This would allow you to make additional changes between the student’s first change and the start of the semester Sun1Mon2Tues3Wed4Thurs5Fri6Sat Sem ester starts Slide 7 of 16
