Dear list,
I have some general questions about changing standard infotypes. Although I am not new to ABAP, I have never touched HR before, and I was thrown into the deep water on a new job (and let me tell you it wasn't easy to get it) So please if you can give me any tips and descriptions about this subject, and I have searched a lot of forums, and only later did I realize that it's a new world out there with ECC6, so here are my questions: Just for background, the client has system ECC6, and it hasn't been upgraded from a previous system. In fact, HR still isn't live, but it will be soon.
We have system ECC6. Can I use the old way to change standard infotypes?
If I decide to use the new way, do I first have to decouple the standard infotype?
How can I tell/know if the standard infotype has already been changed? (Enhanced or just changed)
In the old way, can you actually change one of the standard fields, or only add new ones?
In the old way, can your new field be next to the old fields (in the same box or is it a subscreen), or can they only be in an u201CAdditional fieldsu201D box (subscreen).
Same question for the u201Cnewu201D way.
I understand that the u201Cnewu201D way is based on the new enhancement concept. Is it complicated to change/enhance the infotype this way, or not so complicated.
Thank you for your patience,
BR / MVH
Allan

You cannot edit a post once it has been replied to. Some posters were asking questions (probably of a very basic nature) and then after getting replies, would edit the original question to hide the fact that they were not as knowledgable as they they pretended to be.
