Definition of Infotype within the Data Dictionary

Each infotype nnnn requires at least two structures and one table: Structure PSnnnn
Structure PSnnnn contains all of the info type data fields.

Structure Pnnnn
Structure Pnnnn contains infotype key fields and all of the data fields from structure PSnnnn .

Transparent table PAnnnn and/or transparent table PBnnnn

2/6/2013

Transparent table PAnnnn is required if you want to use an infotype within Personnel Administration. If you want to use an infotype within Recruitment, transparent table PBnnnn is required. In accordance with the distribution of infotype name ranges, objects P9nnn , PS9nnn , PA9nnn and PB9nnn are assigned to the 8 customer name range.

Infotype Module Pool

A module pool should be used with each infotype.

The name of the program is MPnnnn00.

Where P stands for Human Resources. nnnn is the four-digit infotype number.

Infotype-specific Includes
The main program only contains INCLUDE statements. If you create the main program using transaction PM01 Dialogs in HR, the system also creates the following four includes:
Name of include MPnnnn10 The include contains The PROGRAM statement and the declaration of common data objects PBO modules for the screens PAI modules for the screens subroutines

Infotype-specific Includes
The system also inserts INCLUDE statements in the main program for the following includes:
Name of include Use FP50PPSB Declaration of common data objects This data area is used as a buffer for imported infotype records and maintenance information. The variables specified in this area are used as export or import parameters when the infotype dialog module is accessed. Declaration of common data objects

Infotype Screens
Each infotype has at least three screens:

An initial screen (1000) A single screen (2000) A list screen (3000)

2/6/2013

Initial Screens
Initial screen is used as technical interface Screen 1000 is used for all infotypes Processed in background. Performs general initialization procedures

Infotype Time Constraint

A time constraint indicates whether more than one infotype record may be available at one time. The following time constraint indicators are permissible:
1 No overlapping and no gaps.

No overlapping but time gaps are permitted.

Overlapping and and time gaps are permitted.

2/6/2013

Other Possible Time Constraint

A Only one record may exist, valid from 01/01/1800 to 12/31/9999. Splitting and deletion is not permissible.

Only one record may exist, valid from 01/01/1800 to 12/31/9999. Splitting is not permissible, but may be deleted.

The time constraint varies depending on the subtype.

Refers to time management infotypes.

Infotype Characteristics
The following tables must be maintained for each infotype: Name of table T582A Task Basic infotype characteristics (database tables, single screen, list screen, time constraint, dialog module, and so on) T582S T77ID Infotype short texts Name of data field structure (PSnnnn)
