 Changing an Infotype Group Temporarily

Prerequisites

The infotype group for a personnel action stores the sequence and selection of infotypes that must be maintained for that particular personnel action. You can modify the grouping using Customizing. You can temporarily change the infotype group of a personnel action that you are currently executing.

Example Example

You want to hire an employee. You must also enter the data that is not included in the personnel action in the system (for example, the infotype Challenge (0004)). When you run the hiring action for the employee, these infotypes should also be offered for maintenance. To do this, use the function Change infogroup to change the personnel action Hiring infotype group.

End of the example.

Changes made using the function Change infogroup are only temporary. As soon as you have completed the personnel action, the changes are cancelled automatically.
