Maintaining Infotype Characteristics 

When an infotype is created, the system does not automatically create the table entries that define the infotype characteristics (tables T582A and T582S). For this reason, you must create the appropriate entries in the tables yourself. View V_T582A enables you to maintain these tables.

If you want to maintain the characteristics of an infotype, proceed as follows:

  1. Start transaction PM01, Create Infotype, by entering the transaction code.

    2. You access the Create Infotype screen:

  2. In the Infotype no. field, enter the four-digit number of the infotype you want to create.

    3. When you specify the infotype number, please remember to enter any leading zeros.

  3. Choose IT characteristics.

    4. This accesses the Display View "Infotypes": Overview screen.

  4. Choose Table view ® Display ® Change.

    5. This accesses the Change View "Infotypes": Overview screen.

  5. Create a new entry for your infotype.

    6. You can create new entries by

    – choosing Edit ® New entries or

    – copying an infotype entry with similar characteristics.

    If you want to copy an existing entry, select the entry you want to copy and choose Edit ® Copy as.

  6. Check the entries in the individual fields.

Result: You have maintained the characteristics of your infotype.
