Creating custom infotype

Former Member — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 12:44:41 GMT

Hi,

I want to create a custom infotype with the following fields.

Molga (country grouping)

Personnel Number

Subtype

Language Key

Comment Line 1

Comment Line 2

Comment Line 3

in this first 4 fields are keys. The user should be able to edit only the rest of the fields.

Subtypes similar to the infotypes values 0168,0169,0014,0015,0009,0006,0002 should be created.

While updating and saving the infotypes 0168,0169,0014,0015,0009,0006,0002 the system should prompt this infotype through dynamic action to enable the user to enter comments.

can anyone give me a step by step approach for creating this infotype?

Thanks in advance...

Vijay

3) Select the 'Employee Infotype' radio button.

4) Select the 'PS Structure Infotype'.

5) Click on Create... A separate table maintenance window appears...

6) Create a PS structure with all the fields you want on the Infotype

7) Save and Activate the PS structure

😎 Go back to the initial screen of PM01.

Then goto technical Characteristics and maintain the details of subtype there. I.e name of subtype i.e. component name defined in PSnnnn. Subtype table is T591A.

When you create custom Infotype, a predefine header is always there.

As for editable fields you need to take care of that in modulepool.

For creating infotype, follow the link -

This is the only method to create a PA infotype.
