Beginning Effective Date

Enter the date on which an address, item, transaction, or table record becomes active. The meaning of this field differs, depending on the program.

For example, the effective date can represent any of these dates:

  • The date on which a change of address becomes effective.

  • The date on which a lease becomes effective.

  • The date on which a price becomes effective.

  • The date on which the currency exchange rate becomes effective.

  • The date on which a tax rate becomes effective.

Ending Effective Date

Enter the date on which the item, transaction, or table becomes inactive, or through which you want transactions to appear. This field is used generically throughout the system. It could be a lease-effective date, a price-effective or cost-effective date, a currency-effective date, a tax-rate effective date, or whatever is appropriate.
