Use

In this IMG activity, you define the characteristics of infotype fields (as in the SAP: Define Field Properties IMG activity).

You can define the field properties for both customer and SAP infotypes. In the case of SAP infotypes, this overrides the settings in the SAP: Define Field Properties IMG activity, provided that SAP permits this.

Furthermore, you can define properties for customer fields that you have included in the SAP infotype structure (Pnnnn structure). For more information, see the SAP Library and choose HR Tools -> Developing an Infotype in Personnel Administration -> Developing an Infotype -> Enhancing an Infotype Included in the SAP Standard System</<.

Requirements

You may define the properties of an SAP infotype field only if SAP permits this. This is permitted if the fix indicator is not set for the object type and subtype in the relevant entry in the SAP: Define Field Properties IMG activity. If the fix indicator is missing, look for the next entry according to the priority list (that is the entry with the next lowest relevance as it is less specific):

  • Object type specified but subtype not specified (initial)
  • Subtype specified but object type not specified (initial)
  • Object type and subtype not specified (both initial)

Standard settings
