Updating Infotype using function module HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION

Hi There ,

lets understand my problem related to updation of infotype .

I have a record maintained in my table within date range 01/04/2010 to 31/12/9999.

now i update my new tax rate from 1st June 2010 .

The requirement is i shall two records now :

First record from 01/04/2010 to 31st may 2010 shall be maintained .

hence we need to modify the existing record only changing the end date .

Second record will be a new record starting from 1st june , ending 31/12/9999.

Approach followed by me :

using HR_READ_INFOTYPE to read the data .

Then using HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION

---> ACTION : "MOD" to update existing record by passing end date as 31st may 2010 .

Then using action : INS to create a new record .

but this approach is failing since i am itself not able to modify the existing record .

Please let me know the correct way of updating the record .

Regards,

Abhishek.

It depends on infotype. Every infotype has a time link.

Sometimes you can have a record for a day or more than one. You can have continuous records or not.

I think your infotype has class 1 and it's continuous in time to the end (99991231)
