SAP PP01: How to maintain OM Infotypes

There are two methods of maintaining infotypes:
- Using the organization and staffing transaction
- Using the Expert Mode

Transaction PP01 can be used to maintain all object types. Due to the authorization restrict, you may not be able to access transaction PP01. In this case, you may use these Tcode instead:

• PO10 Organizational Unit
• PO03 Job
• PO13 Position
• PO01 Work Center

The PP01 screen is shown below. Screens for PO10,PO03,PO13 & PO01 are very similar

1. Plan Version: It is important to ensure that you are working in the correct plan version at all times (for this you can also default the plan version in the user parameter
2. Object Information:The object type, ID and abbreviation are displayed so the user can ensure that the right object is being edited.
3. Status: Select the status of the infotype you want to maintain using the tab pages (select Active which has status = 1).
4. Infotype: Select the infotype you want to maintain.
5. Validity Period: Start and end dates specify the period during which the object exists in the plan version selected.

Important OM Infotypes
1.IT0001 - Description: It gives an Object's Abbreviation and Name

2.IT0002- Relationships:

• There are many different relationship types that you can create between object types
• Each individual relationship represents a subtype of the Relationships infotype (IT1001).
• Not all relationships apply to every object.
• Relationship records can manually be created using the Expert Mode interface, but they are also automatically created when using other interfaces (e.g. Organization and Staffing, Simple Maintenance).
• When creating a relationship, the inverse relationship is usually automatically created by the system.
