I belive you wish to create customer specific infotype. If yes follow these steps

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)

Best Regards

Hi Sanju,

You can create custom specific PA infotypes by using t-code PM01. Custom specific infotypes are numbered between 9000-9999. Following are the main steps to follow:

1. Goto transaction PM01 - Create Infotype

2. Enter the Infotype no., select PS Struture radio button under Subobjects and click on Create All tab. This will create the Module Pool, interface screen, customising table entries and data dictionary objects for your infotype.

3. You will be directed to the Data Dictionary screen where you will define the PS structure components and types. Save and activate the PS Structure (PSnnnn).

4. Next you customise your Infotype attributes like Time contraints etc in view table V_T582A and mention technical data details like Screen number (2000 for single screen and 3000 for list screen), dialog module - RP_nnnn and database table PAnnnn etc.

5. Finally you go to Screen Painter and edit your interface screen 2000. Save and activate the screen.

You donot need to create/change the module pool program MPnnnn00 as it it automatically generated by PM01 using the Pnnnn structure.

Hope this reply will help you understand how to create custom infotypes now.
