What is validity period in SAP PE - Training and Event Management?

SAP Term: validity period

• Component: PE

• Component Name: Training and Event Management

• Description: The period of time in months and years in which attendance of an event type is valid as a prerequisite for attendance at another event. Prerequisites for business event attendance are represented by qualifications and by business event types. Attendance at business event types is considered a qualification. The validity of such qualifications can expire in the same way as the validity of other qualifications or skills. When the validity period expires, the relationship between the attendee and the business event type 'has attended' becomes invalid. This relationship is created during follow-up processing for the business event. The validity period of qualifications and event types is not related to the validity period of objects and infotype records that defines the period of time during which an object or record exists. This information is stored with the object or infotype including a start and end date.

• Key Concepts: 
  Validity period is a feature in SAP's Training and Event Management (PE) component that allows users to set a specific time frame for when a training event or course is valid. This ensures that the training is up-to-date and relevant to the current business environment. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To set a validity period for a training event or course, users must first create the event or course in the PE component. Once the event or course has been created, users can then set the validity period by selecting the “Validity Period” option from the menu. From there, users can enter the start and end dates for when the training event or course will be valid. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that once a validity period has been set, it cannot be changed. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the validity period is set correctly before saving it. Additionally, it is important to note that if a validity period has not been set, then the training event or course will remain valid indefinitely.
