If you want to create the main program for an infotype, proceed as follows:

Start transaction PM01, Create Infotype (transaction PM01).

You access the Create Infotype screen.

In the Infotype no. field, enter the four-digit number of the infotype you want to create.

When you specify the infotype number, please remember to enter any leading zeros.

In the Subobjects group box, flag PS structure.

Choose Create.

The Dictionary: Initial screen appears:

Create the structure PSnnnn.

Choose Activate.

Return to the Create infotype screen.

Choose Create All.

This creates the structure Pnnnn and the database tables for your infotype.

If you have flagged Employee Infotype for your infotype, table PAnnnn is created.

If you have flagged Applicant Infotype for your infotype, table PBnnnn is created.

If you want to use your infotype within Personnel Administration and Recruitment, both tables are created.

The following sub-objects are also created for your infotype:

Module pool

– MPnnnn00 Module pool for infotype nnnn

– MPnnnn10 Include for module pool MPnnnn00

– MPnnnn20 Include for module pool MPnnnn00

– MPnnnn30 Include for module pool MPnnnn00

– MPnnnn40 Include for module pool MPnnnn00

Screens

– MPnnnn00 1000 Initial screen for infotype nnnn

– MPnnnn00 2000 Single screen for infotype nnnn

– MPnnnn00 3000 List screen for infotype nnnn

Interfaces

The system creates an interface that contains all of the interface statuses required. A list of interface statuses is included in the section Interface Status for an Infotype.

Dialog module RP_nnnn

Entry in table T777D for the technical characteristics of an infotype.

Entry in Table T77ID for the data field structure Psnnnn for the infotype.

Create additional structures or tables if required.

Result: You have created an infotype.

Make the required settings to table T582A in Customizing for Personnel Administration.

Creating infotypes with name range enhancement:

Note the following information when creating infotypes and proceed as follows:

If you are creating an infotype with a name range enhancement (/Company 1/9000, for example), make sure that your entries are overwritten by those of another imported infotype with name range enhancement (Partner 1/9000, for example), if the infotype number of the imported infotype is the same as your infotype. For this reason, make sure before you import infotypes with name range enhancements that there are no conflicts between the infotype numbers available and those that are to be imported.Start the Personnel Administration infotype copier (PM01)Enter the infotype number.

Choose Utilities -> Name range.

Enter the name range reserved for your company in the Name range field.
