Definition
Table infotypes are infotypes in which you can fill individual fields multiple times when you create a record. This lets you store information in a tabular structure.

Use

Examples
Infotype "Schedule" (simplified)
This infotype is used to store the time schedules of business events. The fields Day, Time block 1, Time block 2, and Time block 3 are used for this purpose.
To define a schedule, you only have to create one record of the infotype in which these fields are filled multiple times.
Example of a record of the Schedule infotype:
Day Time block 1 Time block 2 Time block 3
1 9:00-12:00 12:00-13:00 13:00-17:00
2 9:00-12:00 12:00-13:00 13:00-17:00
3 9:00-12:00 12:00-13:00 13:00-17:00
