Definition

You can use infotype screen control to assign several infotype texts to one infotype. These infotype texts must be assigned to different screens.

Use

Infotype screen control enables you to assign several screens to one infotype. This function can be used in the following cases:

Many infotypes contain numerous different fields which cannot or should not all be maintainted on one single screen. Often, only a subset of these infotype fields should be maintained on one screen.
Example: In the Attendances infotype (2002), you can maintain the costs or the work performed on separate screeens according to which function you select.

In the Addresses infotype (0006), you may not want to maintain the country screen which the system proposes for the personnel area but the screen for a different country. This is the case if the employee's place of residence is not in the same country in which he/she works.
Example: If an employee is assigned to a personnel area in Germany, the system displays the entry screen for Germany. However, if this employee lives in France, you can use the Address abroad function to choose the country key for France and display the entry screen for France.
