Field help (TPSCTRDAT) 

This field indicates the start date of the activity. By default it is "invisible" and cannot be entered based on the setup in the "Time entry transactions" function.

By default, the start date of the activity is initialized based on the end date of the event. The user can decide to assign the entered event to another active period by right-clicking. 

SEEINFO When creating, modifying and deleting an activity period in the "Contract" function, a warning message appears to inform the user of the update of the activity periods.

Message appearance conditions: events occurring after the new activity period start date exist and the user has chosen to display the activity periods (Input, Output) in at least one time entry transaction.
