Answer / sm

Infotypes are also called information types and are pre-
defined templates to enter sensible related information for
an employee or applicant. for eg an address infotype would
have fields like street & house no, city, pin code.This
infotype is unique and is represented by an infotype number
eg address has infotype no 0006.

There other infotypes like

0000 - Actions (to capture employee movement info in the
orgnization)
0001 - Organizational Assignment (to capture employee
positioning in the organization)
0002 - Personal Data
0006 - Address
0007 - Planned Working Time (Store planned working hours
for the employee.)
0008 - Basic Salary
0009 - Bank Details
0014 - Recurring Payment
0015 - Additional payment
0016 - Contract Elements
2006 - Absence Quotas

The above infotypes together in the same sequence form a
part of the Hiring Action.To make you understand this
better just try and recollect the contents of your offer
letter which your organization might have given you. It
would possibly read “We are delighted to offer you the
position (IT 0001) of ______. You will belong to ______
department (IT 0001). Your joining date will be ______
(IT0000 or IT0041)and you will be paid a salary of ______
(IT 0008). You will be paid monthly allowances ______ (IT
0008 or IT 0014) and we are also offering you a joining
bonus of ______ (IT 0015). You will be eligible for annual
leave of ______ days (IT 2006) and sick leave of ______ (IT
2006).You will be on a probation for six months from the
date of joining (probation date & confirmation date in
IT0016). Your working hours will be from ____ hrs to ____
hrs beginning Monday to Friday (IT 0007) and we look
forward to your presence on date ______(IT 0016)……

I hope this gives you some idea of what an infotype is.


What are info types ?
Infotypes, known as information types are units of human
resources information formed by grouping related data
fields together. These are represented in the sap hr system
by a unique 4 digit number eg. Personal Data (0002),
Address (0006) etc. All customer infotypes fall in the
number range from 9000 to 9999. The fields in the infotype
would vary based on the country grouping for eg if any
employee belongs to country grouping 10 than he would have
the SSN no field in the Personal Data infotype which would
not be seen in same infotype for country grouping 99.

*Infotype numbering in SAP HR sub module
0000-0999 Personal Administration (HR Master Data)
1000-1999 PD Infotypes (OM)
2000-2999 Time Infotypes
4000-4999 Recruitment Infotypes
