 Material Assignment (Infotype 0800)

Definition

Material that is assigned to a person.

Use

The equipment of a person with material (that is, the material provided to the person and, if necessary, returned by the person) is created in the system using this infotype. A distinction is made between the following material assignments on the basis of two subtypes:

  • Functional equipment (FUNC)

  • Personal equipment (PERS)

    Note Note

    Rather than in the Structures Workbench or using the applications of the Personnel Administration component (display only), processing is carried out using a specific report.

    End of the note.
