Definition of an Infotype within the Data Dictionary 

Each infotype nnnn requires at least two structures and one table:

Structure PSnnnn contains all of the infotype data fields.

Transparent table PAnnnn is required if you want to use an infotype within Personnel Administration.

If you want to use an infotype within Recruitment, transparent table PBnnnn is required.

Structure Pnnnn contains infotype key fields and all of the data fields from structure PSnnnn .

You might also need to define further structures or tables for specific infotypes.

You create the data definitions of these structures and tables manually in the Data Dictionary. Transaction PM01 Dialogs in HR does not support this step at this time.

In accordance with the distribution of infotype name ranges, objects P9nnn , PS9nnn , PA9nnn and PB9nnn are assigned to the customer name range.

You want to develop an infotype with the number 9900 to be used within Personnel Administration only. The names of the structures and tables for this infotype are as follows:
