Splitting dates in business rules

Splitting a date in a business rule provides a shortcut for modifying a business rule for another purpose.

Before you begin

You need to be in the Edit mode for the rule you want to modify.

Why and when to perform this task

To split a business rule record, perform the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Click Split next to the record.

    A new record is created with a start date of Jan 1; and its fields are in red. A message displays in the Message field indicating that the date/time field values are invalid.

  2. Select the start date/time for the new record.

    The end date/time for the original record changes from continuous to the start date/time of the new record, and the end date/time of the new record changes to the end date/time of the previous record.

  3. Modify the date/times of the new record.
  4. Modify the Effective Rule Logic to fit the needs of the new rule.
