The Military Service infotype (0081) is an enhancement to the Absences infotype (2001). You use this infotype for absences related to military and civil service.

Absences entered in Military Service are automatically stored in the Absences infotype. You can maintain the absences further in the Absences infotype.

Choose the Military Service infotype (0081).

1. The standard R/3 System includes certain default absence types. If you maintain the absence data, the system automatically changes the validity period of the infotype record.
2. You assign absence types to, and create absence periods for, Military service types in Customizing. Every military service type contains different duration periods for an absence. If these periods are exceeded, the system displays a warning, but processing continues.
