8/9/2019 Configuration Part 1 – Infotype Menu

1/8


2/8

This presents two menu options, select the second - infotype menus and enter the menu tab number youcreated earlier. When in the screen, click New Entries, once your configuration is complete, the screenmay look something like this:

The entries here show that for user group 08, infotypes 0000,0001,0002, etc are displayed in the ordershown. The second column is a sequential number which determines the order the infotypes appear onthe list – it is not possible to overtype this number, so if you wish to change it, you have to delete the line

and put it back with a different sequence number. The next column is the infotype number you wish toappear. The column Scre.. is not normally used – it is for infotype screen control, e.g. if infotype 0006 Address normally goes to screen for country 08 (GB), you can force it to go to another version of thescreen, i.e. enter a different country number.

User Group Example

Here we see an example using different user groups:


3/8

Menu tab 95 is for Basic Data; we see from the list that if the user has group 08, they will be presentedwith infotypes 1,2,6,8 and 65. For Germany (presuming user group 01) the selection will not includeinfotype 65. A user belonging to group other that 08 or 01 would not be found in this table, but thereference user group is set to 08 which means they will be directed to the 08 settings.

Note that this example presumes user groups based on MOLGA country code, as is usually the case.

The user group numbers do not have to represent the country of the user, they can refer to their

department, job function etc. Menu tabs and infotype lists are configured accordingly.

Configuration of PA30 TransactionConfiguration part 3 – Determine choice of infotype menu

IMG – Personnel Management – Personnel Administration – Customizing Procedures – Infotype Menus –

Determine choice of infotype menus

In this final step, we set up which of the menu tabs appear on PA30 and in which order (and various other

transactions)

This IMG step has two options, select the second = Infotype Menus. A box will prompt for a menu

number, enter 01 if you wish to make changes to PA30 Maintain Master Data, click the possible entries

button to see other options for areas like travel.

There will be entries in this table already that you must delete or change according to your requirements.

Here we see a simple example:


4/8

Users going to PA30 in user group 01 will be presented with the menu tabs for Basic Details, and Time

Data, for 08 they will also get Payroll menu tab.

Refer to the example at the very beginning of this document to see how this would look.

Now test the configuration has worked by going to PA30 and reviewing the infotype menus. Follow back

through steps 1 to 3 to correct any problems or make adjustments.

In our project we have a customized User Menu set up for the PA30 transaction as below.

Following the same path

IMG – Personnel Management – Personnel Administration – Customizing Procedures – Infotype Menus – Infotype Menu

In the first option: (User group dependency on menus and info groups) the entry TR (AOL -Mini Master)

view is taken into consideration for the project.


5/8

In the next option (Infotype Menu) select TR and press enter.


6/8

Now the next screen (Display View “Infotype Menu” :Overview), which comes up, explains the screen flow

sequence, which we will be observing henceforth in our PA30 transaction.

The Infotypes configured for our system and the sequence number in which they come are explained by

the following screen shot.

Now in the final set up

IMG – Personnel Management – Personnel Administration – Customizing Procedures – Infotype Menus –

Determine choice of infotype menus

Choose the option (Infotype menus) and set TR (AOL Mini Master) for all.

This will ensure when you go to PA30 the view set up in TR will come up.
