hi,

it is data migration project, we have some interface to other system.

it is neccesay to load original date from the Mainframe system.

I understand it is necessary, but WHY it is necessary? If you want to make conditions based on time, in SAP there are other validity fields you can use. The date of creation is mainly for information and should not be used for such things (this is why it is handled automatically).

would suggest any other field i can use it for, if i do direct table modify??

just tell me, why do you want to have this information, for what purpose do you want to use ot later? I am interested in the business scenario.

for example, if you want material prices to be valid for price, you can play with the condition validity dates. It does not matter when the material was created.
