Hi,

I want to change the type of a standard InfoObject and it has data. What would be the best approach on doing this? Should the type of the standard InfoObject be changed or should a Z infoObject be created?

Thanks

Best approach will be to create a custom one with a template of the standard oine ( change the type) because standard one some other project may use in the future.

You cant change it except increasing the length of the IO with data in it and it being used in other objects.

Should the type of the standard InfoObject be changed or should a Z infoObject be created?

both the approaches have both adv and disadv. If you are gonna create a Zobject, then again you need to replace the original IO with the zobject in all the infoproviders. But even said that I would agree with others to go for a Zobject.

Hi,

I'd always recommend creating a custom InfoObject, if you'd like to change the type of an InfoObject.

Especially if an InfoObject might be used by several different development teams (e.g. 0MATERIAL for sales and inventory analysis...), changing it can obviously cause problems.

Also, I'm pretty sure you'd have to delete all data for the InfoObject before you can actually change its data type.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,

Christian
