Example: When an employee terminates, their open-ended date (12/31/9999) is delimited with an end date (i.e., 6/30/2007) • Transaction Code: Sequence of characters that identifies a transaction. Example: PA20 – Display HR Master Data • Concurrent Employment Benefits Workbench: Enables the administration and processing of benefits for employees with multiple assignments • Benefit Area: Defines plans available to employees, retirees, and dependents.
