I don't think it is different for database table or Ztable.

you actually need to go to tcode PM01 to create custom infotypes. SAP reserves range 9000 - 9999 for customers.

Hi All,

I want to create a custom infotype that holds values like a table infotype i.e., like basic pay 0008. My colleague told me that the creation is done differently. so, I wanted to know about that.

Thanks

Sri

Hi Sri Maddineni ,

If you want to create like basic pay 0008.

You need to follow the same steps you might have followed for creating any PA infotype thru PM01.

Afterwards you have to edit the screen 2000 of you infotype module pool program MP999900 ( where 9999 is your infotype number ) to add table control and

write corresponding logic to populate table control from infotype structure P9999 in PBO as well as save it back to P9999 structure in PAI.

This is similar to adding a table control in any other module pool program. here advantage is you dont have to worry about saving data and reitriveing the data.

P9999 structure will automatically populated and get saved.

You just need to update it from your table control in PBO and PAI

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