  3. Enter an abbreviation and a long text for the resource type.
  4. Select the category of the resource type Room, Instructor, Material, or Other Resources.

Result

You have created a new resource type.

Once you have created your first object, or if an object already exists in the system, you can use this as a template for any further objects you want to create. To do so, you enter the ID or name of the object you want to use as a template in the Resource type field in the Copy from box. The data of the existing object is proposed on the data screen. You can overwrite data as required for your new object. You can find this function in the master data catalog under Create by copying.

The Customizing settings made under Maintain Actions affect the data maintenance activities you can carry out for resource types. In this step, you specify what infotypes may be maintained for what object types.
