Infogroup is a sequence or groups of infotypes that appear when running a personnel action. For Eg: When hiring an employee, the infotypes Personal data (0002), Organizational assignment(0001), Address (0006), Planned working time (0007) etc., are created one after the other.

goto SPRO settings- PMPACustomizing Procedures

Here u define the infogroups

after defining your infogroup you have to assign it to one or more personnel action(s) (T529A-ITYGR).

As the Name suggests Infogroup is a group of Infotypes. Usually while performing any personal action(like Hiring, Transfer, Promotion), group of Infotypes would be involved in the same.

For eg. While hiring a person Infotypes 0001, 0002, 0006, 0007, 0008, 0009 need to maintained.

So we create a Infogroup consisting all these infotypes and the kind of operation we perform on them( INS (only for hiring action coz data is created only then) or COP (during any action which causes changes to infotype data like transfer, promotion, etc,) )

The info groups can be defined so that they are dependent on the user group (user parameter "UGR").

Then we set up the personal action and then we attach the infogroup to a personal action.

Later on execution of PA40 we can find the Personal Action that you created available there(provided you fall in the maintained user group). If you execute the Personal Action all the infotypes that you grouped in the Infogroup will be displayed one by one for data entry. You can always choose to skip the infotype if not necessary.

Hope I have made sense.

Reward if helpful.

Hi Priya, check this.

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.

9) Click on 'All' push button. It takes a few moments.

10) Click on 'Technical Characteristics'. Infotype list screen appears

11) Click on 'Change'(pencil) button

12) Select your Infotype and click on 'Detail' (magnifying glass) button

13) Give 'T591A' as subtype table

18) Click on 'Change' (pencil) button

19) Click on 'New Entries'

22) Save your entries.

23) Now the Infotype is created and ready to use.

24) If you want to change the layout of the Infotype as per your requirement...

25) In the PM01 initial screen...Select 'Screen' radio button and give 2000 as the screen name, then click on edit.

26) In the next screen.. Select 'Layout Editor' and click 'Change'.

27) Screen default layout appears...here you can design/modify the screen..change the attributes of the fields..etc.

28) Save and activate. (Don't forget to 'Activate at every level)

Subtype Creation :

Transaction PM01 Goto Subtype Characteristics. Click on Append and then subtype. Enter the name and description of subtype on screen.

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.

Subty.text tab is T591S and time const tab is T591A.
