Examples of Effective Sequencing

Some date-effective objects, such as assignments, create a physical record for each update on one day. Physical records with the same effective start date have effective sequence numbers. This topic provides examples of effective sequencing in assignment histories.

Changing the Assignment Working Hours

You create an assignment for a worker. Later the same day, you update the assignment working hours. This change isn't a correction, but an update. The assignment history is as shown in this table.

Physical Record	Effective Sequence Number	Effective Start Date	Effective End Date	Working Hours
2	2	28 Decmber, 2022		42
1	1	28 Decmber, 2022		40

Changing the Assignment Manager

You update a worker's assignment twice on 14 November, 2022. You change the:

1. Assignment manager from S. Taylor to J. Miles.

2. Assignment manager from J. Miles to M. Scott and the grade from C14 to C15.

Effective sequencing doesn't apply to assignment manager and work measures. Because effective sequencing applies to grades but not assignment managers, the assignment history is as shown in this table after you make both updates.

Physical Record	Effective Sequence Number	Effective Start Date	Effective End Date	Grade	Assignment Manager
3	2	14 November, 2022		C15	M. Scott
2	1	14 November, 2022		C14	M. Scott
1	1	30 December, 2021	13 November, 2022	C13	S. Taylor

Changes to assignment managers and work measures are corrections rather than updates. Only the last change made on any day remains in the object history. The change of manager to M. Scott overwrites the first change from S. Taylor to J. Miles.
