Briefly explain the concept of effective date and its advantages. | Peoplesoft HCM / HRMS Interview Questions

Effective date concept is used in multiple core tables in PS HRMS. For example in job this is a primary key. Purpose of this field is to differentiate multiple transaction rows for same employee that has happened on two different dates. Effective date is also used in a lot of setup tables for example location. A location is say active as of today but 5 days later if I wish to make it inactive how does the system recognize the current status of location 5 days in future. It will be done by using the most effective dated row for that location.
