This is an HR question? I need to add a new field to infotype 2010. can i do that? I researched this to find that infotype enhancements are not possible to Time Management infotypes.

I just wanted to make sure that am I right? If not how can i do that?

Thanks in advance.

can you elaborate a little bit more on that? How to add a new field to the standard infotype. I haven't done that before.

Thanks

Hi,

The tcode is PM01,then select the tab Enhance IT. Then hit create all or select CI_include, give the component name and the component type should be a custom type.Then if you check the module pool and hit create then it will create set of programs u need to be concerned with zp20- pbo modul, zp30-pai module, zp*40- form routines.You can use the screen painter to modify to modify the field. After you are done u need to include the screen to the standard screen by pressing the Assign Enhancement button by giving the respective program names and screen do not forget to include it to other country screens (if it is a part of your requirement).

I hope this will help u to a certain extent.

Regards

You have to give IT and select Cl include and click "Create" not "ALL"

After that select "module pool" and

click "Create" not "ALL"

finally , select include screen and

click "Create" not "ALL"

Thanks

It threw a message that the structure already exists, so I click on 'Edit' it denied the access for that and asked for the 'Access Key'

Thanks for your help.

yes, you have to give your IT2010 in PM01 and "EDIT" .

Well Here’s the problem if you go to any table in SE16 check PA0001,PA0002 or PA0022 . you’ll see .INCLUDE and data element = CI_P0022

But for IT2010 , There’s no Include , That’s why its not allowing you to enhance IT2010. Check it in SE16 :PA2010

You’ll get an idea !!

Now question is that how you can enhance IT2010 ..? Well its also a mystery question for me .!!!

Hi Vinu,

You cannot enhance the Time Management ie 2nnn infotypes using PM01. SAP does not provide that option. You can only enhance an infotype if a CI include exists in the PSnnnn structure. Pl take a look at the following <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/4f/d526a4575e11d189270000e8322f96/frameset.htm">SAP Documentation</a> on the restrictions to PM01.

I should’ve noticed your post !!

I researched this to find that infotype enhancements are not possible to Time Management infotypes.

You were right!!

Thanks a lot for your time, however, doubt that came to my mind is, can I add a new field to the table PA2010 even though I cannot enhance the infotype.

How are these two things different? If so, how can i do that?

I have asked for access for the object to make changes.

Hi,

I agree with suresh, the solution that I have posted earlier is a blunder. I will be careful from next time onwards.

suresh_datti — Wed, 10 May 2006 21:55:18 GMT

Hi Vinu,

Why would you want to add a field to PA2010 when you cannot enhance the infotype? What is your actual requirement? May be you can make use of a BAdI or USer exit to update a custom table instead.. just my thoughts..

Hi Suresh,

Thanks for responding. My actual requirement is I need to add a new field 'ZSHIFT' to the table PA2010 which I need to for some payroll validations.we discussed that it is not possible to right way change the table stucture, then we discussed of using Field Exit (I have not used that before) to incorporate it, Not sure how???

Do you have any ideas as how to take it from here. Infact any leads will be helpful.

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

Vinu

Re: Infotype change

suresh_datti — Thu, 11 May 2006 16:33:27 GMT

not many options here.. either you go in for a modification of 2010 or maintain a custom infotype..
