How To create SAP PA-HR Infotype In 5 Easy Steps
In SAP HR/HCM, employee data is grouped in Infotypes. This employee data is saved in infotypes based on his/her personal number (PERNR).
For example in infotype PA0006 (Addresses) you will find employee’s address details. Similarly, in infotype PA0021 you will find the employee’s family details.
SAP provides hundreds of standard infotypes, but many times there are business/client requirements where we have to create new infotypes. In this tutorial we will see how to create a custom PA (Personal Administration) infotype in just five easy steps.
Step 1. Creating the PSnnnn Structure
Each infotype requires a PS structure which contains all the data fields.
To create the ‘PS structure’, go to transaction code PM01.
Give a four digit number between 9000 – 9999 in the ‘Infotype no.’ field. Select the radio button ‘Employee infotype’. Select the radio button ‘PS Structure’ and then click on the ‘Edit’ button.
