Changing the Status of Infotype Records

Procedure

You can change the status of an infotype record when the record's standing in a plan changes. Status changes occur for several reasons. For example, a planned infotype may be approved or confirmed, and require activation.

When you change the status of an infotype, the system applies the new status retroactively, to the beginning of the infotype record's validity period, unless you select Propose change.
