Switching to Infotype Maintenance

Prerequisites

You can perform infotype maintenance, such as creating, changing, or deleting infotype records, while working in Simple Maintenance. To do so, you must request an object description for a selected object, and then maintain the infotype on the Maintain Plan Data: Select Infotype screen. (Workflow users do not need to perform much infotype maintenance).

However, be aware that changes made there are not automatically updated. You can manually update infotype information using the Refresh options.

When you refresh information, the system re-extracts information from the database.

If you need to perform a lot of infotype maintenance, consider switching to Infotype Maintenance.
