Answer / vks

The following brief explanation should help you understand this Enhancement of Infotypes:

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.

It is also possible to include additional fields in the standard list screens.

If you incorporate additional fields in an infotype, these will be treated in the same way as the SAP standard fields in reporting, when creating the documents, and within dynamic events.

The enhancement of an infotype in the SAP standard system does not cause problems during a release upgrade.

Constraints

The following infotypes are excluded from the enhancement concept:
Actions infotype (0000)
Additional Actions (0302)
Time Management infotypes (2nnn)
Applicant Actions infotype (4000)

The length of the data field structure PSnnnn and the CI include must not exceed 1500 bytes.

If you include additional fields in the Organizational Assignment infotype, (0001), these will not appear on the logical database PNP as selection fields.
