Documentation

Definition

The infotype group number is a two-digit number assigned to a series of infotypes.

All the infotypes are run through in sequence when an action with an infotype group number is carried out.

The sequence of infotypes can also depend on

• the user parameter UGR
• the employee's control data.

When defining an infogroup, please note that the Organizational Assignment infotype (0001) must always be one of the first infotypes since it is used in other infotypes for authorization checks, screen layout and plausibility checks.
When hiring an employee, only the Personal Data infotype (0002) should be maintained before infotype 0001. If employee transfers or other similar actions are involved, the infotype 0001 record should be created first.
