The Applicant Actions infotype (4000) serves as a record of all applicant actions carried out for an applicant. These applicant actions can be:

• Data entry procedures (e.g. Initial entry of basic data, Enter additional data )
• Procedures that change the overall status of the applicant (e.g. Reject applicant, Put applicant on hold )

The most important piece of information contained in the Applicant Actions (4000) infotype is the applicant's overall status (e.g. Processing, On hold, Rejected ). The overall status depends on the last applicant action type performed for the applicant. If, for example, the applicant action type Put applicant on hold is performed, the applicant is assigned the overall status On hold. In the standard SAP system, a new record is created in the Applicant Actions infotype (4000) for every applicant action type performed for an applicant.

In addition to data on the applicant action type that was performed, the Applicant Actions infotype (4000) contains information on whether or not an applicant can produce a reference. If this is the case, you can store the name of the employee providing the reference for the applicant in a text not used in evaluations.

The applicant's organizational assignment data is already entered as default values in this infotype. You can overwrite these values.
