Creating Infotype Records

Prerequisites

So that you can create infotype records for objects, 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.

Note that all the object types and infotypes that have been flagged as not maintainable in customizing in Customizing, cannot be maintained in the standard infotype maintenance screen. See General Maintenance.

Procedure

See General Maintenance Procedure You create infotype records if you want to create the object itself (infotype 1000 Object) or if you want to create additional characteristics for an object.

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.
