Re: Write access to Infotypes in the past

Hi again Lars,

1. We will get there
2. the PDATE field is part of your structural profile. It's the field named Period:
   
   
   However, I don't think the period is causing the issue here.
3. You were saying the user is trying to write a record in the past. When trying to write this custom infotype, what's the record's begin and end date?
   Can you make a screenshot of both of the structural profiles (01.01 / 01.09 & 01.01 / 01.10). I think it will clarify things further.
4. OK. Do you have the possibility to turn off the VALDT switch and see if this results in your desired behavior? Even though this may not be a permanent solution, we can deduce and see whether we're on the right track.
5. If you mean the Maintenance checkbox in the structural profile (see the first red arrow in my screenshot) then no. When it comes to PA infotypes you cannot overwrite read or write access within a structural profile. This maintenance is only meant for PD objects.

Could you rule out this having to do with the standard role authorization by tracing the write action (ST01 or STAUTHTRACE). That way we have further reduced other possibilities being the cause.
