Examples of Correcting Date-Effective Objects

You can correct most attributes of date-effective objects, regardless of whether they occur in current, past, or future physical records.

If you correct the effective start date of an object's first physical record, then the revised date must be before the current effective start date. For the second and subsequent records, the revised date must be between the record's current effective start and end dates.

Correcting a Current Error

On 11 December, 2022 you create a location definition but enter the wrong phone. On 21 December, 2022, you search for the definition and select the Correct action. Before correction, the object history is as shown in this table.

Physical Record	Effective Start Date	Effective End Date	Location Phone
1	11 December, 2022		650.555.0175

After correction, the object history is as shown in this table.

Physical Record	Effective Start Date	Effective End Date	Location Phone
1	11 December, 2022		650.555.0176

Because you corrected the object, no change history exists.

Correcting a Past Error

A worker's assignment history is as shown in this table.

Physical Record	Effective Start Date	Effective End Date	Job	Working at Home
4	20 October, 2022		Line Manager	No
3	18 August, 2022	19 October, 2022	Senior Administrator	No
2	10 May, 2022	17 August, 2022	Senior Administrator	Yes
1	25 July, 2021	9 May, 2022	Administrator	Yes

You learn that the worker's job was actually Project Leader from 10 May to 19 October, 2022. As this period spans physical records 2 and 3, you must correct both.

To retrieve physical record 2, you set the effective as-of date in the person search to any date between 10 May and 17 August, 2022. You select the assignment from the search results and make the correction.

You then retrieve physical record 3 and make the same correction.
