Infotype Characteristics 

Infotype characteristics are determined by entries stored in various tables.

The following tables must be maintained for each infotype:

Name of table

Task

T582A

Basic infotype characteristics

(database tables, single screen, list screen, time constraint, dialog module, and so on)

T582S

Infotype short texts

T777A

Technical Characteristics of Infotype (database table, dialog module, and so on)

T77ID

Name of data field structure (PSnnnn)

You can maintain tables T582A and T582S in view V_T582A . Tables T777D and T77ID are maintained automatically when the Enhance Infotypes transaction (PM01) is used.

You may also be required to maintain further tables:

Name of table

Task

T591A

Table T591A is used if the infotype is divided into subtypes. The subtype characteristics are determined in this table.

You can use a different table instead of table T591A.

The table used to store the subtype characteristics must be specified in table T582A as the subtype table.

T588G

Table T588G controls field-specific retroactive accounting.

T588M

Table T588M enables you to adapt infotype interfaces using screen control.

(You can specify an alternative or subsequent screen; user-specific screen control is also possible).

T588B

Infotype menus

T588Z

Dynamic actions

The entries stored in these tables must be maintained manually. Transaction PM01 Enhance Infotypes enables you to maintain the basic infotype characteristics and to set up infotype menus.
