The interface for single and list screens is standard for all infotypes. A specific interface status is used depending on the function to be carried out. It is also possible for particular menu options or function keys defined in the interface status to be deactivated when certain functions are used.

The interface status is set in a PBO module included in the standard system. If you create your infotype using transaction PM01 Enhance Infotypes, the PBO module is accessed automatically by the flow logic of the infotype screens. For this reason, you do not need to program the interface status yourself.

The PBO module that sets the interface status can only function properly if the name and structure of the interface status to be used abide by SAP conventions. For this reason, you should also use transaction PM01 Enhance Infotypes to create the interface for your infotype.

The initial screen does not include an interface status.
