So you really need the selection as follows:
BEGDA < or = the day you actually create the record, rather than the hire date.
ENDDA > or = the day you actually create the record, rather than the hire date.
There are messages in SAP that can be turned into warnings or hard errors, or just information, depending on your need. I don't know off the top of my head if there is such a message for records as these. You may wish to think about a warning, since I'm sure that every once in a while you do need to enter a record with expired validity dates. Then you'd be stuck if it was a hard error.
I think changing the logic to not use BEGDA would cause secondary problems. Case in point: You actually hire the person on or before 2010.10.14, the day the person is supposed to start, instead of three months later when the WSR has expired. Now the correct WSR to choose should be the one from 2000.01.01 to 2010.12.31.
A couple of questions to ask are, do you have this problem a lot, and do you have a lot of errors because of it? My guess is that, at some point in 2011, everyone coming in will be starting on or after Jan 1, 2011, so this issue you have goes away. If you can live with it for another month or two, I suggest doing this rather than creating an IT ticket for an issue that won't last long.
Also, many drop-downs in SAP may default a few records, but you click on the little arrow to see your selection criteria, and change the BEGDA and ENDDA dates accordingly to get the correct WSR.
Hope this helps, but if someone has a fast fix without need of IT, we're all ears.

Subject: IT0007 - how to prevent users to select delimited work schedule rule SCHKZ
Hi,
Here is my problem.
I have work schedule XYZ valid from 2000.01.01 to 2010.12.31.
I am in the process of hiring an employee on 2010.10.14
On IT0007, when I do the pull down on the work schedule to select the appropriate work schedule rule, work schedule rule XYZ appears in the list.
This is so because if I open the restriction tab at the top of my pull down pop up box, I see that the BEGDA and ENDDA are filled by default as follow:
BEGDA < or = 2010.10.14 (start date of my IT0007)
ENDDA > or = 2010.10.14 (start date of my IT0007).
This means that any work schedule rule that fulfills both requirements will be displayed in the drop down...In this case, since work schedule rule XYZ does fulfill both, it is indeed displayed.
However, I believe that the condition on the ENDDA should NOT be related to the start date of the infotype but rather to the ENDDA of IT 0007.
In this case, I should see
BEGDA < or = 2010.10.14
ENDDA > or = 9999.12.31 (I know the > does not make sense...but it is just to illustrate my point).
In this case, it should not display work schedule rule XYZ as it does not fulfill the second requirement (ENDDA > or = to 9999.12.31)
So, I believe that by default, this particular work schedule rule should NOT be displayed...and if I want to see it, then the ENDDA on the restrictions tab should be modified.
In doing so, it will prevent errors, since as it is right now, it is possible to save this particular infotype 0007 with ENDDA = 9999.12.31 for work schedule rule XYZ although it is no longer valid as of 2011.01.01. And the system does not return any error/warning message stating that this particular work schedule rule is not valid for the entire duration of the IT0007.
Does anybody know how/where we can modify the default logic for the ENDDA on the restriction tab so that it does not read the PA0007-BEGDA to fill the ENDDA field?
OR
Is there a way (no modif.!) to generate an error message when a user tries to save an infotype 0007, with an end date that is after the ENDDA of the work schedule rule?
Either way, it will reduce the risk of errors.
I have found a similar message in 2003...it went back and forth for a while but with no answer to this specific question.
I have also looked for OSS notes to no avail.
Thanks !
