Objects & Infotypes Update

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm going to describe my particular scenario...

I have an object called 0S (pp01 transaction).

Inside of it, I wanna to create several data through different infotypes, so I beginning to create it:

9050 (general data) -> pernr + nach + vorna

9051 (specific data) -> building + ou + job

Since here, right! But now, imagine I wanna to create a new infotype called...

9052 (candidate) -> and I wanna to inform it with the same data that I show you before: infotypes 9050 + 9051.

Can I create the new infotype (9052), with two 'subtypes' or 'subInfotypes' or whatever you wanna named, like the two created before?

My idea is to create the 9052 infotype with 9050 & 9051 infotype 'inside' of it. Could anybody understand me??? Is it possible?

Thanks!!!!

Miguel Angel.

Hi..

Add the fields of two Infotypes in two subtypes....

Hi manu,

Could you say me how can I do it?

Can I fill two different subtypes of a specific Infotype with differents fields? I don't know how to do it. I thought that subtypes only works with the same fields of the infotype by each subtype. So, if I understand you right, I can create two subtypes of a Infotype, and assign differents fields to each subtype?

Thanks!

in custom infotypes, we can call two completely different module pools(screens) for updation whenever selecting subtypes. it is possible. carry on

Thanks a lot!

1) Go to Transaction PM01.

2) Enter the custom Infotype number which you want to create (Should be a 4 digit number, start with 9).

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

14) Give ‘T591S’ as subtype txt tab

15) Give your subtype field as subtype field

16) Save and come back to PM01 initial screen

17) Click on ‘Infotype Characteristics’ … Infotype list screen appears

18) Click on ‘Change’ (pencil) button

19) Click on ‘New Entries’

20) Enter your Infotype number and short text

21) Here we have to set different Infotype Characteristics as per the requirement. (Better open another session with some standard Infotype’s infotype characteristics screen and use as the reference to fill yours)

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)

hi

Sorry, i talked to my tech consultant. he says its better to go for 2 diff infotypes.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Thanks Anantha!!!!

But, could you asked your tech consultant why it's better to go by two differents infotypes?? any technical issue??

Thanks again for your help!

As i said earlier when we create an infotype with Subtypes, when both the subtypes usually operate with the single structure. While selecting subtypes, we try to use the same structure for both the subtypes. You could have seen them in Address infotype, family dependents. for one subtype we can hide one or more fields from view to modify screen from one subtype to another but not all the fields.

In your case you are planning to save numerous different fields in both the subtypes. THats why Two infotypes instead on one with subtypes

[Former Member]

i tell you iam not a techie,

You can create a infotype with 2 different subtypes. but usually subtypes are used only when there is little or no difference in infotype fields

<b>As mentioned by you, as there are large number of different fields, you might have to go for two different infotypes.</b>

I dont think it is possible to pack 2 infotypes in one

[Former Member]

What is the purpose behind the creation of Two infotypes? Cant all the fields be placed in one infotype.

[Former Member]

Yes, of course. But imagine that the scenario is like the one I explained before but with a huge number of fields. Is it possible?

The real scenario is not the same, but there are a huge number of fields, so we create different infotypes depending of the meaning of the fields.

And finally, we want to create another infotype that have different fields, and all of them exists in different created infotypes. So, that infotype have to had a lot of fields and I wanna to split them in different 'subInfotypes'. Could you understand me?

Thanks!
