Maintain Subtypes

In this step, you make the system settings required for creating subtypes for infotypes.

You can create subtypes for standard infotypes and for customer-specific infotypes. In both cases, you must assign a time contraint to either the subtypes or the infotypes.

Example

Infotype Subtype
1504 Budget Increase/Decrease 0001 Increase by allocating grant
1504 Budget Increase/Decrease 0002 Return
1505 Budgeting Rule 0001 Sperre im Zeitraum
1505 Budgeting Rule 0002 Wegfall bei Freiwerden
1506 Reclassification rule 0001 Reclassification for specific time
1506 Reclassification rule 0002 Period-based reclassification

Note

You can create 4-digit numeric subtypes ranging from "9000" through "9999".

Recommendation

Relationships are special subtypes of the "Relationship" infotype. Since special care has to be taken when setting up subtypes for this infotype, this function is dealt with in a separate step. For this reason, you should always create relationships beforehand by working through the step Maintain relationships.

Activities

1. Create the additional subtypes you require for the infotypes in question.
2. Define an appropriate time constraint for every subtype.
