Creating Infotype Records for Tasks

Prerequisites

So that you can create infotype records for tasks, the object, that is the 'existence infotype' 1000 (Object), must already have been created. You can create this in Simple Maintenance or by maintaining infotypes for objects.

The procedure for creating additional infotype records varies for each infotype. For example, the final steps involved in creating the Description infotype (1002) are different to those followed to create the Work Schedule infotype (1011) record.

Procedure

You create infotype records if you want to create the task itself (infotype 1000 Object) or if you want to create additional characteristics for a task.
