  Enhancing an Infotype Included in the SAP Standard System

Use

The enhancement concept for infotypes within Personnel Administration and Recruitment offers you the following functions:

  • You can perform additional customer validations.

  • You can include additional fields in an infotype.

    • The enhancement concept allows you to include additional fields in the data field structure Psnnn. You can then maintain these fields in the standard single screens.

      For more information, see Enhancing the Single Screen .

    • The enhancement concept also allows you to add fields to the standard list screens.

      For more information, see Enhancing the List Screen .

    Note Note

    If you add fields to an infotype, they are treated in the same way as SAP standard fields in reporting, when creating infotype logs, and within dynamic actions.

    End of the note.
